Interlibrary Loan - Requesting articles not owned by the Rod Library

How to request a research article using Interlibrary Loan

Suppose - using L'Annee Philologique - you found the 2017 article:
    

"Dust-clouds, sunlight, and the (in)competent general: conflicting traditions on Marius at Vercellae" by Fiona Noble - publiished in the journal Historia: Zeitschrift fur Alte Geschichte  

 

After checking Google Scholar, Google, and OneSearch you find you can't access an online copy of this article (JSTOR contains past issues of Historia - from 1950 to 2014.  However, the 2017 articles of Historia won't be available in JSTOR until the year 2022). 

 

So it's time to request this journal article via interlibrary loan.  Here's how:

 

Step 1 - find the interlibrary loan option on the UNI Rod Library website and click on the interlibrary loan option - which will take you to the Interlibrary Loan website.
    

Creating an interlibrary loan account.  First step - finding the interlibrary loan button on the Rod Library website.

 

Step 2 - Click on the "Request a Loan Through Illiad" option on the right-hand side of the Interlibrary Loan website.
     

Creating an interlibrary loan account. Step 2 - Click on the "Request a Loan Through Illiad" option.

 

Step 3 - Log in with your CATID

 

(Step 3.5 - If you haven't registered for Interlibrary Loan - fill out the registration form first.)

 

Step 4 - Click on "Journal Article" under "New Request"

Link in the UNI Rod Library interlibrary loan system for requesting a journal article.

 

 

Step 5 - 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.  Click on "Submit Request" at the bottom of the page when you have filled out the form.
