Step 1. Start locally: For items available through the Georgia State University Libraries, search GIL @ GSU. Locate and check out the item or use it in the library.
Didn’t find it in GIL @ GSU?
Step 2. Expand your search: For books available within the University System of Georgia, submit an online request to borrow it through GIL Express.
Not a book, or not in the System?
Step 3. Try more resources: identify the item you need in our Library databases, select the "Find It" button on the screen, and choose the ILLiad link from the "Find It" menu.
Not in the categories above?
Step 4. If you have a full citation for items not available in our collection and not available for requests through the statewide GIL Catalog or our Library databases, logon to ILLiad and complete a request form.
Contact a Reference Librarian if you need assistance: http://www.library.gsu.edu/askalibrarian/

Depending on location and availability, loans may take up to 2 weeks or more; we cannot guarantee the material will be received within a specified time period.
On average, books and other borrowed materials from libraries in the Atlanta-Athens area arrive in a little over a week after being requested. Books supplied by libraries outside the area may take much longer, depending on the location and availability; journal articles may arrive much sooner if transmitted electronically by the Lending Library.
Please submit requests well in advance of deadlines, and monitor your ILLiad account regularly for the status of your request.

The Lending Library specifies the length of the loan (usually 2 to 4 weeks), the conditions under which the material may be used (Library Use Only, No Copying, Handle With Care, etc), and the possibility of renewals. Some libraries do not grant renewals, so prompt pick-up and use of materials is important.
Patrons are responsible for using ILL materials carefully, and returning them to the University Library or the Alpharetta Center Library promptly and in good condition.
Failure to adhere to ILL rules may result in loss of borrowing privileges for the borrower as well as the University Library.
Visit the ILLiad FAQ for more information.

To request a renewal in ILLiad:
- Log into ILLiad and select "Renew items" from the "View My Requests" column of the ILLiad main menu.
- A list of materials checked out to you will appear. For each item you wish to renew, click the transaction number in the "View/Edit" column.
- This will bring up detailed information about the item. On this screen, click "Request Renewal."
A successful renewal request automatically adds seven days to your due date to give us time to receive a response from the lending library. If they grant the renewal, we adjust your due date to reflect the amount of time they allowed, and send you an Email message. If they deny the renewal, we send you a message asking you to return the item closer to its original due date if possible.
ILLiad will not allow a renewal request if:
- the lending library specified in advance that they will not grant a renewal on that item.
- the item’s due date is more than five days in the future or more than one day in the past.
- you have recently requested a renewal for the item and the lending library has not yet responded to the previous request.
Office hours available by appointment.
