Hi my name is Katherine, I’m a librarian at the University of Alabama.
I’m going to show you how to request books and other materials from the Library Annex.
This process will require an ILLiad account. Please see the video linked in the description if you need instructions for creating an account. 
Certain library materials, including some print books are stored the Annex, the Libraries’ off-site storage facility.
Let’s say you found this copy of Pride and Prejudice by searching in Scout. The location shows that it is in the Annex.
To request it, scroll down to the bottom of the page, select “Request This” and click the link in the box, which will take you to the libraries’ catalog.
In the “Actions” menu on the upper-right side of the item record select “Request Item.”
This will take you to the ILLiad system, where you can login with your myBama credentials. 
Once you have successfully logged in, select “Doc Delivery - Loan” for the UA Libraries Collection.
The request form should auto populate. Or, you can copy and paste the bibliographic information listed in Scout.
Simply verify that all required fields are complete, select a pick-up library, and submit the form.
To view the status of a request, select “Outstanding Requests” or “All Requests” in the ILLiad menu. 
Library Circulation will send you an email notification when the item is available for pickup.
Keep in mind that a variety of resources are stored in the Library Annex. You can also request musical scores, microfilm, audiovisual materials, and other items.
That’s all for now, thank you for watching. If you have any questions or would like help using UA Libraries, contact us or visit ask.lib.ua.edu to Ask-A-Librarian.
