Interlibrary Loan is the service that gives you access to the resources of other libraries. Use ILL to:

Borrow books & media
Most items arrive in 7 - 10 business days.

Get PDFs of articles & book chapters
Average time is 3-5 days.

Place items on Course Reserve
Faculty & Staff should contact the Drake Circulation Department (x2277) to have items placed on Course Reserve.

If you do not use OCLC resource sharing, then please request our materials using our Lending Request Form.

Our fee policy from the Policies directory:

IDS and NY libraries - no charge.

Out of state libraries - $10 IFM (loans and copies).

Media requests carry a 3-week due date with no renewals and must be returned via insured carrier.

New books (published current year plus one) carry a 4-week due date with no renewals.

Non-circulating collections are generally not available for Interlibrary Loan.
