When the library does not own an item, we provide easy ways to request it. WorldCat searches across library collections worldwide and requests items via Tipasa. ILL staff then use Tipasa to communicate with libraries that own the item in order to request it for your use. The turnaround time for books and other loanable items is 3-7 business days. Items which are more difficult to find or are in high demand may take longer.
Check WorldCat - this service covers many library collections worldwide. When you locate an item you want, click "Interlibrary Loan." If there are only a few copies of a book listed in WorldCat, it is less likely that we will be able to obtain that item.
For books and other materials not available using the services listed above, please request directly through your ILL account.
