Discovery & Requesting

Rapido Blank Form

Sometimes patrons know the exact title they want but are unable to find it through OneSearch. A link to the Rapido Blank Request Form will appear directly under the OneSearch search bar in the expanded Global Title Index search. The text of the link will say Still didn't find what you need? Click here to send a request.

Clicking this link will open the Rapido Blank Request Form where the patron can manually request anything through Rapido. This form has many fields and is very customizable, so it may appear slightly different at every CSU library. The form will generally have fields for patrons to add all the citation information needed by staff to find the requested item.

Links to the Rapido Blank Request form may be added to other parts of your library website, such as on the Resource Sharing unit page. I recommend all CSU libraries replace any remaining ILLiad Request Form links with the Rapido Blank Request Form link.

The Rapido Blank Request Form will also have the same copyright notice that is included in the article and book chapter forms.
