Borrowing From Another Library:
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

What is Interlibrary Loan?

Service that obtains books, articles, documents and other material that Cornette Library does not have. Rare and archival materials are usually not obtainable.
Sends copies of articles and loans books to other libraries.

For books please give us author, title, publisher, and publication date.
For articles please give us author, title, title of journal/magazine/newspaper, date or volume/issue of publication, and page numbers.
For other media, also please give us format, producer, and any other unique information.
If you cannot find any of the above information, please let us know.
Submit request using your choice of:
- Pre-filled Interlibrary Loan form that is available in WorldCAT, most of Cornette Library's databases, and the pop-up.
- Online Illiad form (login required).
You will be notified by email or telephone when your material arrives.
Material must be picked up in the ILL office (first floor of Cornette Library, southwest corner) or at the Reference Desk.

Allow up to 1 week for articles to arrive.
Allow 2-3 weeks for books to arrive.
Generally at no charge, but the lending library may charge, or a copyright fee may be required.
You will be contacted in advance if there will be any fee.
Renewal and check-out periods are determined by the lending library.
Some items (rare books, entire periodicals, newly published works, video and audio materials, reference works, etc.) may be difficult or impossible to obtain.
