If you are affiliated with Virginia Tech, you can request the item through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) using ILLiad. ILL can acquire most articles, including those recently published or ahead of print, in addition to print materials.  Submit a request on your ILLiad account, and we will make every effort to get the items you need.

Getting the requested material can take from a few days to a few weeks, depending upon the availability of the material or proximity of the lending institution. Loan periods are determined by the lending institution.

Another option to obtain materials not owned by the Virginia Tech Libraries is to fill out a Book Suggestion Form to suggest a title for purchase.
