Can't Find a Book?

View Tutorial (3 minutes)

1. Retry your search using keyword search in GEORGE. Put words in separate boxes or try variant spellings.

If the book is not in GEORGE or is not on the shelf, then...

2. Check the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) catalog.

If an available item is found in the WRLC catalog, click on the Request button at the top of the record for that item to order it through the Consortium Loan Service (CLS). You can also travel to the owning library with your GOCard to borrow the item.

If there is no available copy at any of the WRLC libraries, then...

3. Request item through interlibrary loan (ILL) .

Dahlgren patrons: Use this link for interlibrary loan (ILL).

PLEASE NOTE: If a book is available through WRLC, an ILL request will be returned to you so that you may order it via CLS, which is much faster than ILL.

If a book is available at Georgetown, an ILL request will be returned to you. ILL will not request books that are available in our library.



Can't Find a Journal Article?

1. Search the JOURNAL TITLE in Journal Finder to determine if the volume or issue needed is available at Georgetown.

If an available journal volume is found in the WRLC catalog, then click on the Request button at the top of the record for that journal to order the article through the Consortium Loan Service (CLS). You can also travel to the owning library to photocopy the article.

If the journal volume is not available at any of the WRLC libraries, then...


3. Request the article through interlibrary loan (ILL) .

Dahlgren patrons: Use this link for interlibrary loan (ILL).

PLEASE NOTE: If an article is available through WRLC, an ILL request will be returned to you so that you may order it via CLS, which is much faster than ILL.

If an article is available through Journal Finder, an ILL request will be returned to you. ILL will not request articles that are available in our library.
