Interlibrary Loan

If we do not have access to the material you need, we’ll contact another library and borrow it for you.  

Two ways to request an Interlibrary Loan

Using the Get It button to fill in form for you:

1. Click  
2. If the item is unavailable, click Not Available? Request from Interlibrary Loan and login. 
3. Login (first time users will fill out a short registration form)
4. The “Get It” button will fill in most of the form. 
5. Make sure all required fields are filled in and click “Submit Request.”

Filling out a request form from scratch

1. Login using your eID and password. (First-time users fill out a short registration form.)
2. Select a request form—book, article, etc.
3. Enter information and click “Submit Request.”

We’ll email you when:

• Your PDF is available to download from your Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad) account.
• Your loan is available for check out.
• We have any problem getting your requested item.

Picking up and returning interlibrary loans
