Interlibrary Loan: Welcome to our new ILL system!

This guide is an overview of the interlibrary loan service.

Before requesting articles through Interlibrary Loan please check here using a Title/Citation/DOI to see if your article is freely available via Open Access

 

How to use the new ILL system

1. Go to Your ILL Account (https://auctr.account.worldcat.org/account)

2. Sign in with your barcode and password

3. If you are a new student/faculty/staff or do not know your password, use the set/reset password link

4. If you do not have a RWWL barcode, please visit the RWWL Circulation Desk to receive one or call 404-978-2097. If you have any fines from having lost Robert W. Woodruff Library items you will not be able to borrow items via Interlibrary loan.

5. Once logged in, select Profile and update your contact information. While a phone number is necessary,  requesting text notifications is not a requirement to use the Interlibrary loan system. If you do not wish to provide the Interlibrary loan department with a phone number, please contact us at 404-978-2042 or ill@auctr.edu so we can assist you with requesting Interlibrary loan material.

If you are a distance learning student, please chose the relevant Pickup Location.

10. If you wish to renew an ILL item, visit your ILL account https://auctr.account.worldcat.org/account and select the Renew button. All checked out items are immediately visible upon logging in to your ILL account. Please note that renewals are at the discretion of the lending library. If the response to a renewal request is no, please return the item immediately. The Interlibrary loan department will be happy to request the same title from another library.
