Interlibrary Loan

Need an item, but we don’t have it? Get it through interlibrary loan (ILL). We’ll borrow the book from another library so you can borrow it from us.

  1. Go to the WorldCat
  2. Search for the book, article, or other material
  3. Select the title
  4. Call, Email, Chat, or visit us, to request the Title as an interlibrary loan
