Monitoring and managing your requests

Follow these steps to monitor and manage your ILL requests

Sign into your My Account in Sofia.

Under the My Account drop down menu in the upper right corner, click on "Requests".

My Account in the Sofia Discovery tool

Now you will see your list of requested items. ILL requests can be identified by a "request details" number found in the submitted date column. To check on the status of your ILL request, view the "Status" column on the right. Note that you will see a "Request Again" button immediately under the status information for a request – this does not mean that your request has not gone through.
