Borrow from Other Libraries

The University Libraries uses Prospector, Interlibrary Loan (ILL), and the High Plains Library District to provide materials unavailable at UNC by borrowing from other libraries. There is no charge to UNC faculty, staff, or students for these services. 

  • Prospector

    Prospector is a catalog of many academic, public, and special libraries in Colorado and Wyoming. With a single search you can identify and borrow materials from these collections and have them delivered to your local library.

  • Interlibrary Loan

    The UNC Libraries uses the ILLiad system for managing Interlibrary Loan materials. To request items from another library, submit an ILLiad request. You will need to log in using your UNC username and password.

    Interlibrary Loan Item Types

    Books
    Try a search for your book in Prospector first. If the book is not available in Prospector, submit an ILLiad request. You will receive an email when the book is available to pick up from the main desk.

    Articles
    Submit an ILLiad request. You will receive the article electronically via email.

    DVDs and CDs
    Try a search for your item in Prospector first. Popular videos, DVDs, and CDs are often difficult to get through Interlibrary Loan.

    Dissertations and Theses
    Submit an ILLiad request. Many libraries send only microform copies or do not lend dissertations. If a dissertation is not available on loan it can often be obtained from UMI for a fee.

    Delivery
    Depending on location and availability, it can take from 5 days to 3 weeks to obtain requested material. You will be notified by e-mail when an item arrives.

    Loan Periods
    The loan period for books is determined by the lending library and is usually at least 1 week. The due date is written on the colored band attached to the item.

    Overdue ILL items cost 50¢ per day. Items overdue by 28 days or more are considered lost and a replacement fee of $100 is charged.

    Distance Students
    If you reside 50 miles or more from campus, see the Services for Distance/Off Campus Students page for more information on requesting materials.

    Other Libraries
    Other libraries wishing to borrow materials, please see Interlibrary Loan Information for Other Libraries.

  • High Plains Library District
