If you find a book from Google Books that you are interested in, follow these steps in order before placing an ILL request:
1. Search in the catalog (Gil-Find) to see if we have it at VSU.
2. Search in the catalog (Gil-Find) using the USG Dropdown to see if you can have it sent to Odum Library from another institution.
3. Create an ILL request for the book.
1. Start by entering your keywords into the search bar and searching for a book.
2. Click on the title you are interested in.
3. The preview of the book will immediately open if it is available. Some books are available in full-text through Google Books and others have limited pages/chapters. You can exit the preview by selecting the x button in the preview itself.
3. From here you can see the details of the book, author, and publisher.
Information about the publisher and additional books by the same author can be found further down the page.
To search the book for specific keywords, type these into the search bar at the bottom of the book preview. If a preview is not available, you can still search in the book by selecting the "Search inside" button under the title of the book.
The words in your search will be highlighted in the results.
If the full text of the book is not available, you may not be able to see the whole page for some of your search results.
