Q. How do I make a request for something?

Start by searching! 

• Use our OHSU Library Search. Sign in using your OHSU ID and password.  
• Using Articles, Books & More, search using the filters, drop-downs, and the Expand your search button to find the citation you are interested in.  
• If OHSU Library has what you need electronically, select the related online link to get access. If OHSU Library owns what you need in print, you can put the physical copy on hold by signing in with your OHSU ID and password. To request a scanned PDF from our print holdings or for material we don’t own, use Get It From Other Libraries to request it.
• Click the blue Get It button and submit your request using our free interlibrary loan service known as Get It For Me.
• If you can’t find exactly what you are looking for using the Library Search, submit a request using our blank form. 

What happens next? 

• You’ll get an email when your item is ready. 
• Most articles arrive within 24 hours. 
• Physical items typically take 2–5 days, but may take up to 2–3 weeks depending on the lending library’s location.
