Q. What should I do before I make a request through Interlibrary Loan?
Answer
Check the UAB Libraries' catalog to determine whether the specific titles you are looking for are owned.
Check Google (search by article title), Google Scholar (search by article title) and PubMed (search by article title or PMID)
Exhaust the resources available in UAB Libraries. If you do not know what other materials might be useful for your research, ask a reference librarian for assistance.
Consider your time restrictions and the time it takes to receive materials through ILL.
