Fill Out a Blank Form

You can access a list of request forms by logging on to the Interlibrary Loan system: http://upstate.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/logon.html.

The Form is Filled-in Automatically

If you would like citation information to be transferred directly to the request form, you must first look up the citation in either PubMed Single Citation Matcher or the Citation Linker on the A-Z list:

Locate citation using one of the above citation search tools.
When the citation is displayed, click on the "Upstate Medical University Check Library Holdings" icon below the abstract.
On the "Search Results" page that is generated, select the link below "Additional Resources" that says "Use request form that is pre-filled with the above citation." The link will take you to the logon page for the Interlibrary Loan system. When you log in, the "Journal Article Request" form will display, pre-populated with the citation information for the article you are requesting.

In addition, clicking on the Article Linker icon from any database will generate a web page that links to the Interlibrary loan system.

Retrieving an Article

Upon being notified that an article is available for retrieval, log on to the system and click on "Retrieve Your Article(s)" in order to be taken to a location from where the articles (in PDF format) may be downloaded.
