- Interlibrary Loan is a service provided by the library. If we don't have an article or book you need, we will try to get it from another library so you can use it.

How long does it take to get my request filled?
- Articles tend to take a couple of workdays; they are usually emailed, so they arrive quickly. Books take anywhere from a few days to two weeks; we get interlibrary loans filled from libraries all over the nation and the world.

If you find a resource in our catalog or database that you want to use but cannot get full access to, you may see a maroon button that says Request Item through Interlibrary Loan. (Example here).
Follow that link to the Interlibrary Loan page. Select the appropriate form (book or article request), fill it out, and submit it.
Even if you do not see the Request Item through Interlibrary Loan button when trying to gain access to a resource, you can still request that resource. Simply go to this page, select the appropriate form, fill it out, and submit it. We will work on getting your request to you as soon as possible!
