Final answer:

If the book is not available at the UWG library or through Gil Express, utilize Inter-library Loan (ILL), consult the online catalog or additional resources through Handshake, and ask the librarian for assistance.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the book you need is not available at the UWG library or through the Gil Express at other USG libraries, the next step would be to utilize Inter-library Loan (ILL). This service allows libraries to borrow materials from each other on behalf of their patrons. You should speak to a librarian at the UWG library for assistance with the ILL process. They will guide you on the forms required, how you can obtain the material, and the duration you may have access to it.

In addition to asking your librarian, you can also consult the online catalog or explore additional password-protected resources such as those available through Handshake if you are a University of West Florida student. Moreover, for specialized resources like career research, the John C. Pace Library may have helpful materials. Remember to Ask A Librarian for guidance in locating these resources.

Make sure to plan ahead since obtaining materials through ILL can take some time. While waiting for the requested materials, you could also consult other sources relevant to your topic of research.
