What is Interlibrary Loan?

Interlibrary Loan or "ILL" is a service that allows you to borrow materials -- including electronic journal articles -- from other libraries. 

If you come across an article through Google Scholar or a Library Database that we do not have access to, you can submit an ILL request. 

ILL is fast and free to you. You will receive an email when the PDF of your requested article is delivered to your ILL account.
