How do I ...?

McKillop Library Books Sent to Your Home: Because you are a Salve Regina University student we are happy to loan and ship our library books to you. Using the library catalog you can locate materials that are on our shelves. After locating a book you would like, simply use the interlibrary loan request form for books. Be sure to indicate that you are an Online Graduate Studies student and you would like the book shipped to your home. You may indicate this in the box marked "Maximum amount you are willing to pay for this item".

Scan and Deliver: If you need one chapter from a book or a journal article that McKillop Library only has in print, we can scan and send you a link to the material. Use the library catalog to locate materials that are on our shelves. After locating a chapter or article you would like, simply use the interlibrary loan request form for book chapter or journal article. Be sure to indicate that you are an Online Graduate Studies student. We cannot scan whole or large portions of items due to copyright; however a whole journal article is acceptable. In most cases, the article/chapter will be sent as an email attachment to your Salve e-mail.

Requesting Articles: Often you will locate an article in a database or a bibliography that is not available in full-text. In such a situation you can request the article using the interlibrary loan form for articles. In most cases, the article will be sent as an email attachment to your Salve e-mail.

Interlibrary Loan Books: You can request books that are not available through HELIN. Just use the Interlibrary Loan* (ILL) tab on the home page or the interlibrary loan request form for books.

  • *Only use ILL for books that are not available through HELIN libraries.
  • *ILL books MUST be picked-up in person and dropped off at the Salve Library.
  • *ILL books cannot be sent to other libraries for pick-up.
