FirstSearch is a collection of databases in various subjects.
Popular databases in FirstSearch include ABI - INFORM, Medline,
PerAbs, and Wilson Select Plus, but there are many more.
All FirstSearch databases use the same interlibrary loan
form.
Before you request an article on interlibrary loan, always
check the Journal
Holdings List to make sure the journal the article
is in is not in full text in a different database, or is
owned by the library in paper or microform format. Instructions
for understanding the Journal Holdings List are found here.
1. Click into the "detailed record" for the
article you wish to request. Your screen should look something
like this:
2. Click on the link that says "Borrow this item
from another library (interlibrary loan)" or on the
"ILL" icon near the top of the screen:
3. On the next screen, fill in the information requested.
Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required. When finished
filling in the form, click Submit.
4. You should see a confirmation message with a large
green checkmark 
that says "Your ILL request was sent successfully."
If you receive an error message instead of the confirmation
message above, please contact the Reference Desk at libref@ben.edu
or (630) 829-6057 for assistance.
