What is Interlibrary Loan?

Interlibrary Loan, a service provided by the library, allows current students, staff and faculty to obtain, from other libraries, materials and copies of periodical articles that are not available at the Library. Obtaining items via Interlibrary Loan takes time; please plan your requests accordingly. The more lead-time you give us, the more successful we can be in obtaining your items. Delivery time depends on type of material and its availability. Most items arrive in 5 - 7 days. Articles tend to come more quickly than books and videos, which need to be shipped. Shipped materials may take longer than 7 days depending on where they are shipped from. Articles can be delivered electronically if you so choose. All other materials, including photocopies of articles, obtained via Interlibrary Loan must be picked up at the service desk in the library. Videos requests will only be honored for staff and faculty. Please also note that despite our efforts it may be impossible to obtain certain items.

Interlibrary Loan is a costly service for all libraries involved. As a result, interlibrary loan is primarily intended to support academic coursework and research.
