You need an item that the PCC/USF Library does not own in its collection? No problem, it is possible to get it, that’s is known as an inter-library loan or ILL. But, be careful, the procedures are different for books and journal articles.
Books
Visit the PCC/USF Library and ask for an inter-library loan form at the front desk or print one from the PCC Library website (second link in the left column). This works for books and dissertations housed in another USF library or not owned at all by USF.
Journal articles
Use ILLiad, an automated ILL management system, to request and receive electronically the journal articles you need. You can request with ILLiad articles from journals housed in the St. Petersburg, Sarasota/New College, FMHI and Health Sciences Libraries (but not the main Tampa Library) or from journals not owned by any of the USF Libraries.
Important: when creating your Illiad account, Lakeland students, faculty and staff must select “Lakeland” in the “Your Status” field. Lakeland distance learners should choose “Distance Learner”.

The library is normally closed on Sunday but the message is worth repeating: the Lakeland campus will be closed to everyone on Sunday February 12th due to a power outage between 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Access to the library catalog, databases and other services through the Web should not be disrupted.
The Health & Wellness Resource Center database is now sporting a collection of more than 700 videos following a partnership between Thomson Gale and Healthology, Inc. The videos cover more than 60 therapeutic areas and run approximately four minutes in length. Search “Health & Wellness Resource Center” in MetaLib to access the database.
I will absent from the campus Friday, February 3th and Monday, February 6th. I will be back on Tuesday, February 7th. Please send me an email at clw@lakeland.usf.edu or leave a voice mail at 863-667-7737. I’ll get back to you when I return.
