Need Something We Don't Have?
If you need something we don't have--an article from a journal we don't subscribe to, a book not in our catalog, or so on--you can still access the item through our Interlibrary Loan system. Journal articles normally arrive within 3 business days.
The first time you use the system, click the "First Time Users" link on the login screen to set up your contact. For interlibrary loan questions or technical support, contact kornill@louisville.edu.
