Citations help readers find sources used in your research while at the same time give credit to the original author of a particular work. There are numerous ways to cite resources in your paper. The citation style usually depends on the academic discipline. Always check with your instructor on citation style requirements.


Schedule an appointment with one of the consultants at the Writing & Research Center or visit one of the library's citation style guides for more information.

What is Inter-library Loan?

Inter-library loan (ILL) is a service for Gannon students and faculty used to request articles or books not available full text in our resources from other libraries from across the U.S. and around the world. 

The service uses, the ILLiad interface allowing Gannon Users to create a unique account for making requests. All communications are done electronically using existing Gannon email accounts.
