When the library does not own an article or other research material, we usually can retrieve a copy for you from another institution via Interlibrary Loan. The library absorbs the costs and copyright fees for this service, and items retrieved are usually available in 2-7 business days. (Articles are often available in PDF in 1-4 business days.)
You can request materials the library does not own via OneSearch, a Find It link, or using the blank Interlibrary Loan request form.
