Articles
To order journal articles, first check CU Boulder's holdings in Chinook.
If you do not find the journal listed in Chinook, use the Libraries Article Finder form. Once you submit your request, ArticleFinder will try first to locate the article in CU Boulder's online
holdings. If the article is found you will be provided a link to the full
text right away. If the article is not found in our holdings, a link to
ArticleReach Direct will be provided. Click this link to submit a request
to other libraries with which we have resource sharing agreements. If the
article is found you will receive an email with a link to the electronic
article. Turnaround time varies, depending upon the availability of the
article. If the article is not found in ArticleReach Direct, your request
will be automatically converted to a traditional ILL request in ILLiad.
Book Chapters
To order a copy of a chapter from a book not owned by CU Boulder, use the ILLiad
request form for Book Chapters. Turnaround time varies widely, depending upon
where the book is held.
Books
To order books, try Prospector first.
Turnaround time for Prospector is generally 3-5 days. If the book you need
is not available on Prospector, use the ILLiad
request form for traditional ILL. Turnaround time for
traditional ILL varies widely, depending upon where the book is available.
Expect to wait 2-4 weeks.
Dissertations
To order dissertations not owned by CU Boulder, use the ILLiad
request form for Theses. Turnaround time varies widely, depending
upon where the dissertation is held. Some libraries do not lend dissertations.
Government Publications
The Government Publications Library is a regional library of the Federal
Depository Library Program as well as a depository of Colorado state, United
Nations, and European Union information. Our holdings are quite extensive,
but thousands of items are not yet cataloged. BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE CHECKED
WITH CU BOULDER'S GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS LIBRARY BEFORE ORDERING A GOVERNMENT
PUBLICATION THROUGH INTERLIBRARY LOAN. Use the ILLiad request
form for a Government Publication/Report. Turnaround time varies widely,
depending upon where the publication is held.
Newspapers
To order newspapers not owned by CU Boulder, use the ILLiad
request form for Newspapers. Turnaround time varies widely, depending
upon where the newspaper is held. Many libraries do not lend newspapers,
and those that do will generally only lend microform copies.
PASCAL
To order materials (including electronic article copies) from PASCAL,
the University Libraries storage facility.
Videos, DVDs, Sound Recordings
To order media, try Prospector first.
Many of our Prospector public library partners have large collections of
media materials. Turnaround time for Prospector is generally 3-5 days. If
the material you need is not available on Prospector, use the ILLiad
request form for traditional ILL, though be advised
that most libraries do not lend media so we may not be able to get the material
for you, or if we are able to borrow the material it may take a long
time.
