 So what if you're looking for a book and somebody already has it checked out or you're looking for a book and you see that UNM doesn't own it or have access to it? Fortunately, you can still request it. Let's look at an example. From the homepage at library.unm.edu, I'm going to go over to the books only search box and I'm going to click on the title button and in quotes I'll put my title. Alright and then just press the search button. I'm at the results page now and I can see my first result at the very bottom. It says that it is held by UNM but that it's checked out and it's not due back until December. You can also see that there are some other copies but notice that this one says that it's held by other libraries worldwide. So again we don't have access to it. I'm going to go ahead and click on the first title. Alright so this is the record and it's already opened the check availability bar. Again it's not available yet but I need it now. So underneath the libraries worldwide there's a small button requested. Click this to request the item. So now I've entered into my interlibrary loan account from clicking the request a button and notice it's already auto filled the book information so all I have to do is take a brief check of everything things like you know will I accept an alternate edition of this copy I could say no if I didn't want to or the format preference maybe I only want the print version you can make that choice. There's another feature that you'll have to click not wanted after a date this is useful if you have a paper coming up and it's going to be due in October you know that you don't want the book after the papers do so you can select a date just to let them know I don't want it after this point also you can let them know if you'll accept the book in another language other than English and it is default set to yes so if you need to change that you can. All right so at this point so you've submitted the form the book should arrive in one or two weeks and you'll get an email when it's available to be checked out at the Zimmerman Library Service Desk.
