Hello, 

1. When using WorldCat UMD, find the record for the article that you want to request (or the journal in which it is found). Then under "Access Options" click the red Request Item through Interlibrary Loan button. This will bring you into your ILL Services Account, where you can place the request.  Citation information will be imported from the WorldCat record, making it easier to place the request.

Arrow indicating the ILL Request button

2. A second option is log in to your ILL Services Account directly, then manually input the citation.

Usually, articles/book chapters scanned from sources owned by UMD Libraries are delivered within 1-2 business days of a request.

In the event that an article or chapter you request is not available on campus, ILL will automatically refer the request to other libraries for fulfillment (usually 1-3 business days). This service is provided free of charge and available to UMD faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students.
