We’ve made some updates to simplify the request process. Now, EZBorrow requests can be placed through PittCat or through your Resource Sharing account (ILLiad). First-time users will be prompted to create an account (one-time setup.) Submission via these methods helps ensure faster service and fewer issues. If you ever need help placing a request, please contact ResourceSharing@library.pitt.edu
Begin your search for books by title or topic in PittCat:
- Select the Expand to Non-Pitt Resources toggle on the left side of the screen in the grey box
- Go to the PittCat record for the book you're interested in
- Login via the yellow "sign-in" box
- You'll then get options to request a chapter scan or delivery of the whole book
- Once you select one of the above options, you'll be taken to your Resource Sharing account (ILLiad). The book information should already be filled in. If requesting a chapter, input the author and title in the appropriate fields and then send the request in.
If you place a request through PittCat using one of the links shown above or directly through your Resource Sharing account (ILLiad), then your request will be automatically checked against EZBorrow holdings.
