INTERLIBRARY LOAN REQUESTS

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service provided by Waggoner Library whereby books and copies of articles not available in our collection may be ordered from other libraries. For assistance, please contact Beth Purtee at ext. 1455.

Quick FACTS:

ILL requests are free (unless there are charges imposed by the lending library)

Theses and dissertations may be ordered, but are sometimes difficult to obtain and often incur extra charges.

Most libraries do not loan videos, reference materials, or entire issues of periodicals.

An ILL request form needs to be completed for each item being requested. Please note that there is a different form for books and for articles. ILL forms can be completed online using the Interlibrary Loan link on the library homepage. Print forms are available at the circulation desk on the main floor.

Please allow two weeks for receipt of material (ATHENA materials usually arrive within one week)

No fine charges for faculty members. However, in order to help us remain in good standing with the lending libraries, please make every effort to return materials on or before the due date given. To renew items, please contact Beth Purtee.

Lost or damaged items incur charges as imposed by the lending library. The faculty member may keep article copies.

To comply with copyright guidelines, we can request only five articles, published within the past five years from a particular journal per calendar year. There is no restriction for articles older than five years.

Other copyright information is included on the request form.
