Get It For Me is the electronic system you use to request an item through Interlibrary Loan. The name Get It For Me can be thought of as an acronym for InterLibrary Loan internet accessible database.
Some people might find it troublesome to have to log into Get It For Me using a username and password. We believe this is less trouble than traditional paper and electronic systems which require you to enter your personal information with each new request.
Your username and password allows us to give you secure access to information about your interlibrary loan requests. We can also enable you to edit your personal information such as your address or phone number.
Your username can be anything you like, such as your name, abbreviations, or an alphanumeric code. Your password also can be anything you like. We recommend that you follow good security practice and choose a password that is different from those you use to access other systems. However, no one but you will know your password, not even the library staff. The password you set is stored in an encrypted file.
In the event that you forget your password, please contact the Interlibrary Loan Office at (800) 555-1212. We can then reset your password allowing you access to Get It For Me. Please change your password once you logon to Get It For Me.
