Chat Research Help: Fresno State Public FAQs

If the library doesn't have an article, you can request a copy from another library through Interlibrary Loan.

Request an article through Interlibrary Loan

• From the library homepage, choose the OneSearch "Advanced Search" button.
  
   
• From the top menu, choose the three dots to see the full menu.
  
• Choose "ILL Request".
  
   
• Log in, then choose "Article" on the form, fill in as much information as you can, and submit the form. If you have a DOI or PMID for the article, you can just enter that and choose "Auto fill" to complete the form.
  
   
• You will receive an email once the requested material has arrived.
• Articles will be available for 30 days.

Other paths to requesting an article

There are some situations where you'll be offered a shortcut to an Interlibrary Loan request and you won't have to fill out the form.

Get It

If you are searching in OneSearch and find an article to which the library doesn't have access, you will often see a "Get It" button. This will let you request the article without having to fill out the form.

Find It @ Fresno State

Databases will often show a "Find It @ Fresno State" link when they don't provide full text for an item. Follow these links to search for a copy across the library's databases and subscriptions. If we don't have access, you will see a "Get It" button you can use to request the article.

Citation Linker

The Citation Linker, available in OneSearch, lets you search for an article across the library's databases and subscriptions based on citation information you provide. It's like a do-it-yourself Find It link. If we don't have access to the full text, you will see a "Get It" button to request the article from another library.
