Request Articles, Books and More through Interlibrary Loan
The GC Library ILL team can get you information from other libraries, help you access locally available information, and connect you to free online resources. ILL is usually fast (unless it is rare or from far away...but we can still often get those items, too) and always easy and worth a try!
Suggest New Materials
The library welcomes suggestions for new books and other materials.
Need It Soon? Purchasing and processing new materials takes weeks. If you need an item quickly, request it via Interlibrary Loan.
Faculty: To request materials for a GC course you're teaching, use the Reserve Request Form.
