Resource Sharing (Interlibrary Loan)

Other Ways to Request Physical Material

If an item can't be found in the Catalog, it can be requested through ILLiad. Physical material includes Books, Microform, and Multimedia.

Requesting Tips:

  • Providing an ISBN will speed up the processing time for your request.
  • Providing a note will flag your request for review and slow down the process. Only include notes that are absolutely necessary. Avoid notes like "Thanks," "I need this ASAP," etc. 
  • Theses/Dissertations may be available electronically but some are only available as a physical loan. 
  • Ebooks and textbooks are typically not able to be obtained through Resource Sharing.
