Further Information

Interlibrary Loan services are restricted to current students, faculty, and staff only. 

TEXTBOOKS: We are unable to obtain most textbooks through Interlibrary Loan. In addition, loan periods will not allow you to keep a book for an entire semester. If you cannot obtain a textbook, please speak with your professor to see if they would be willing to place a copy on reserve.

Please check our online catalog and/or our journal locator to make sure that the item that you need is not already in our library. 

Allow at least two weeks for materials to be received.  If photocopies are requested and received within two weeks, you are responsible for the cost of those materials even if they have been received after they are of no use to you.  The charge for photocopies is .10 per page unless you have been notified that the charge will be more.  There is no charge for books.  Arrival notification will be through e-mail.
