Interlibrary Loan

What if you need an article that we don't have in one of our databases?  What if you need a book that isn't available in the CLAMS Catalog or the Commonwealth Catalog?  

The next step is Interlibrary Loan, or ILL for short.  ILL is when you give us all the information you can on a book, article, or other source, and we request that material from another library.  We advise patrons to allow ten days for material to arrive.  At times we do get materials sooner, there are no guarantees.  ILL is free to Faculty members.

To order an item through ILL, click on the link below and fill out the form as completely as possible:
