Suppose - while searching Google Scholar or Criminal Justice Abstracts - you found the 2010 article:
Oberwittler, Dietrich, and Sven Höfer. 2005. "Crime and Justice in Germany: An Analysis of Recent Trends and Research." European Journal of Criminology 2(4): 465-508.
After checking Google Scholar, Google, and OneSearch you find you can't access an online copy of this article. Note - some articles from European Journal of Criminology are open access (freely available) on Google Scholar - but not this article.
So it's time to request this journal article via interlibrary loan. Here's how:
Step 1 - find the "Find, Borrow, & Request" option on the UNI Rod Library website.
Step 2 - Click on the + sign next to "Find, Borrow & Request" ... and then click on "Interlibrary Loan".
Step 3 - Click on "Request Item Through Interlibrary Loan"
Step 4 - Log in with your CATID
(Step 4.5 - If you haven't registered for Interlibrary Loan - fill out the registration form first.)
Step 5 - Click on "Journal Article" under "New Request"
Step 6 - Now you need to fill out the form. While you're only required to fill out the name of the journal (Journal Title) and the title of the article (Article Title) - filling out additional information may help speed up the return time (note that both authors were included in the First Author blank). Click on "Submit Request" at the bottom of the page when you have filled out the form.
Step 7 - You will be notified by email when your article is ready.
Step 8 - Though the email will provide a link to the interlibrary loan system you will still need to click on "Electronically Received Articles" found under "View" to read and download this article and all other articles you've received via interlibrary loan over the past. three months.
