If you are having trouble finding materials on your topic in the Milne Library, or if the books you want are checked out or are missing, you can request books from other libraries through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). One-time registration on the library web site is necessary to submit requests through Interlibrary Loan.
To find an item that you want in WorldCat:
- Enter your search terms (author, title, or topic) into the search box.
- If the library owns the item, you will see the SUNY Oneonta icon listed. If the library does not own the item, or the item is checked out, or missing, you can request it on ILL. Click on the title of the item to see the full record, and then
- click on Request Via Interlibrary Loan.
- Enter your Oneonta username and password. All necessary bibliographic information for the source will appear on the form when you are registered. If Milne Library owns the source, but it is checked out, add this information to the Notes.
- When the item arrives, you will receive an email. Pick up your book at the Circulation Desk. You will need to bring your student ID card.
