What is Interlibrary Loan?

Items that the library does not own can be requested through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

Interlibrary Loan for Distance Students

Students may use Interlibrary Loan to request items the library does not own.

• Articles and book chapters will be delivered electronically.
• Books and other physical items may only be picked up at an ISU Library location; ISU Libraries will not mail physical Interlibrary Loan items to students. If you are not near an ISU Library location, please check with your local public library about their ILL services

For more information about ILL and how to place a request, see the "Request Non-ISU Materials" page.

If you run into a technical problem with one of our databases or other online resources, please use the form to report the issue.
