Using Oxford Handbooks Online

In the event you locate an article referenced in a Handbook that is needed for your research, but is not available immediately in full-text through online journal databases, contact the Wiggin Library to request a copy through interlibrary loan. To make an interlibrary loan request email library@meadville.edu with the full citation details (title, author, publication, date, volume, issue number, page numbers). 

Similarly, if you locate an Oxford Handbook or containing article that is not accessible to Meadville Lombard patrons (ones with a red padlock icon), email library@meadville.edu with full citation details to request an interlibrary loan.
