When you find an article listed in a database, and the article is not available in full text, use the Borrow from another Library button to log into our ILL service (called ILLiad) and we'll get the item from another library that does have it.

• Articles (pdf files/photocopies) can take anywhere from 24 hours to a few days to obtain.
• Books, conference proceedings and other documents are also available for request and can be picked up at the Library.

First-time users should go here and read about the service. Then, at the bottom of the page, click on the First Time Users Click Here button to create an account.

This handy guide will tell you all about our Interlibrary Loan Service, including how books and articles are handled; how to renew an item you've received; and what to do if you've forgotten your user name or password.
