Journal Articles

Find an electronic version of the journal through the Online Research Resources page and either read/print/save the article [http://www.library.uiuc.edu/orr/?mode=J /]

Find a print version of the journal in the I-Share Online Catalog [http://library.ilcso.illinois.edu/uc/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First] or Worldcat catalog [http://www.worldcat.org/], visit the library, and copy the article in the library that owns the journal

If you need an article that is only available in print from UIUC, and if you are a distance education student, you may request assistance from

Academic Outreach services: [http://www.continuinged.uiuc.edu/oce-sites/outreach/library.cfm]
Use Doc Express [http://www.library.uiuc.edu/irrc/policyb.htm#docexpress] or
Interlibrary Loan to purchase an electronic copy [http://www.library.uiuc.edu/irrc/]

If the article you need is in a journal that is not available at UIUC in either print or electronic format, then you will need to request that the article be sent to you via interlibrary loan [http://www.library.uiuc.edu/irrc/]

Books & Book Chapters

Find the book in the I-Share Online Catalog [http://library.ilcso.illinois.edu/uc/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First] and check it out or copy the relevant pages

Check your nearby libraries (community colleges, universities, and so on) for books that you can check out or copy relevant pages. The Worldcat catalog [http://www.worldcat.org/] can provide locations of books in libraries worldwide

If the book you need is not available in I-Share, then you will need to request that it be sent to you via interlibrary loan [http://www.library.uiuc.edu/irrc/] or through Academic Outreach [http://www.continuinged.uiuc.edu/oce-sites/outreach/library.cfm]
