Getting Started

Getting Started: Welcome to the ENGL 3312-RGC Advanced Composition Research Guide

This guide has been specifically created with distance education students in mind. Even if you're not in Alpine, the SRSU Library can help you by providing online access to resources, help with citations and other research basics, and access to physical books via Interlibrary Loan and document delivery. See Information for Distance Education Students (including RGC) for more information.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) and Document Delivery

We highly encourage all students to take advantage of Interlibrary Loan (ILL) and Document Delivery as a means of gaining access to resources that will support your learning.

Find out more about ILL and Document Delivery in this separate research guide
Check out these instructions for different methods of requesting ILL and Document Delivery:
- How to make a request through WorldCat Discovery
- How to make a request through the EBSCO Discovery System (EDS)

Important note: Know that snail mail has its limits! Requesting physical material to be sent to you or to be scanned and emailed takes time. Please think ahead and get your requests in early, allowing for up to two weeks in some cases. For questions related to ILL specifically, please contact the Systems and Discovery Services Librarian at (432) 837-8417.
