If you deleted the ILL email explaining how to access or cannot find it, don't fear! You can get back to your ILL requests.

Log in to your library account and go to the "Requests" tab. See this FAQ for more details on how to access your library account. This is also the area where you will see an option to renew the ILLs you have checked out. 

Once there, you will see the ILL request and on the right side will be a link that, once clicked, will start a download of the file. The link is called "Available to view": 

link

 

If there is no "Available to View" link, then the copy request is not ready yet or it was supplied as an Open Access (OA) link via email. If OA, then no copy was made because it is available free online. Please check your email from the system instead or, if you have deleted the email, you can Google the article title and likely find a link to it. If you're still having trouble, you can ask the interlibrary loan librarians to resend (the general library staff cannot do this for you, please contact InterLibraryLoan@tulsacc.edu). To know if your request was supplied as OA, it may instead show as "complete" as its status.

Hitting the "Request Again" button will only request the item a second time, which is an option if your link has expired. Once a document has been uploaded, it is available for 30 days or 5 views/downloads, whichever comes first.

If you need accommodations for the file associated with this request because of how it was sent to us, such as the file needing OCR, please email the ILL office: InterLibraryLoan@tulsacc.edu
