Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) allows you to get articles, books, and films that Rohrbach Library does not own from other libraries.

  • To search for books, use WorldCat, and request books within that system:
  • You can request articles directly through library databases, or, if you have the article citation, use the Article Request Form in your interllibrary loan account.
