Requesting an Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

If the desired item is held at another location, you can submit a loan request to that location. You must be signed in to the Web OPAC to request an ILL; for instructions on signing in, see Signing in to the Web OPAC.

ILL Requests are performed while on the Details page for the item you want to request.

  3. In the Requesting Library box, your library location appears.

  4. In the Submitter Name box, type your name.

  5. In the Submitter E-mail box, type your e-mail address.

  6. In the Need by Date boxes, enter the date you would like to receive the item by.

  7. In the Item Information section, verify that the correct item is listed.

  8. If you have additional information to send to the requesting library regarding your request, type it in the Comments box.

  9. If you would like to send a “carbon copy” of this e-mail request to an e-mail address, type the address in the CC box.
