It can be frustrating when you find that 'perfect' journal article or book but we don't have full-text access to it. Like all libraries, we don't have access to all of the academic materials in the world.
The good news is that most libraries share their resources with each other because of that reason. So most of the time, we can get a copy of the journal article, book, or another resource from another library for you! You may be able to obtain the item or a copy of it via our GIL-Express or ILLiad services.
So if you are after a particular journal article, book chapter, book, or another item that we do not hold, then try to obtain it via the appropriate service for the item you want, outlined below.
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.
