For Books
We advise first checking the GIL Catalog to see if the item is available in another University System of Georgia library. If it is available, you can request it through the GIL Express service. If the book isn't available that way, make an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request.
For Articles
For article requests, use Interlibrary Loan. GIL Express can obtain books for you from other libraries, but not journal articles.
