Question:
Our answer:
UBorrow+ allows you to request materials not available at FSU Libraries directly from participating libraries within Florida's state university and college systems. This unmediated borrowing service increases your access to the collections of the other universities and colleges in Florida.
If an item is not available from our original UBorrow partners, the system will automatically search additional participating libraries, including some outside of Florida, before suggesting an ILL request. That means more chances to get what you need, often with faster delivery, and no extra steps on your part!
There are several ways to access the UBorrow+ search. The first is to visit the library homepage and click the "Find and Borrow" icon.
On the Find and Borrow page, select the link that says "UBorrow+ Search" to access the Statewide Catalog.
You can also access the Statewide Catalog by selecting the drop-down next to the search bar and clicking "Statewide Catalog."
Once you've located an item available to request through UBorrow+, click the link under the result that says "Check for available services."
This will open up the item's record and show request options. Under the "How To Get It" section header, click "UBorrow+ Request" to open up the request form.
Note: You must be signed in in order to see the request options and to place a request. If you are not signed in, you will be prompted to do so under "How To Get It."
Some of the information in the form will be auto-populated based on the item's record. Within the form, make sure you select the correct "Pickup Location" from the options available, and then click "Send Request."
You are able to check on the status of your UBorrow+ request by logging in to your Library Account. You will receive an email notification once your item is available for pickup at your library location.
