If you need a book or article unavailable in the CLAMS Catalog or the Commonwealth Catalog, the next step is Interlibrary Loan, or ILL for short. Give us all the information you can on a book, an article, or other source, and we will request the material from another library. We advise patrons to allow ten days for material to arrive. While, at times, the wait is shorter, there are no guarantees.
