After a particular book, journal article, or another item that Augusta University Libraries does not hold?
You may be able to obtain the source or its copy via the GIL-Express or ILLiad services.
If full-text of an article is not available; a Get It option should pop-up. Follow the prompts to complete the ILLiad request. If the Get It option does not appear, access the ILLiad directly using the above link or the Library homepage and manually input the request. Tips: Ensure you allow ample time for fulfillment of ILLiad requests.
Journal articles and book chapters typically are electronically delivered within two business days but may take longer.
Hard-copy materials like print books take anywhere from 7-10 days, possibly longer, before ready for collection from the Info Desk.
GALILEO searches across all of the Libraries' databases at once.
Enter a few keywords and/or "key phrases", or search by title or author > Search or hit Enter/Return
As GALILEO covers a wide range of disciplines, searching within an individual, or a small set of subject-specialty databases can be more on target and efficient. It is worth trying GALILEO first, and then run a similar search in a subject database/set of databases.
