Finding books

This guide was created with the help of the following book(s):

Interlibrary Loan

Sometimes, you'll need a book or article that is not available in the library collection.   If the item is available in another library's collection, we can often borrow it for your use. To request an Interlibrary Loan (also called ILL) check with your campus librarian.   You'll need to know the title, author and publication information (date and publisher).  It can take 1-3 weeks or more to obtain an item through ILL, so plan ahead. For a magazine or journal article, print the citation from the database and we'll try to get a copy from another library.
