November's Featured Resource -- RavenRequest

This month's featured resource is RavenRequest - a web site that allows you to create online Interlibrary Loan requests.  RavenRequest is linked from the library's front page or can be accessed directly at http://ravenrequest.franklinpierce.edu.  RavenRequest can be accessed with your FPU network username and password. You will need to create an account upon your first login.  Once you have created an account you can track your interlibrary loans (both books and articles), find out when materials have arrived or are due back, see past interlibrary loan requests, and coming soon -- pick up articles directly through RavenRequest.

Several of our databases allow users to submit interlibrary loan requests directly to us, those can also be tracked via RavenRequest.  You can copy and paste author/title/journal information from websites directly into RavenRequest, saving you further time.  Give it a try!
