Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary loan (ILL) provides current students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to obtain books, journal articles, and other resource materials which are not available through the library's collections. ILL allows the library to supplement its collections and enhance research opportunities. Before submitting an ILL request, carefully check existing resources on the library's website.

Notes:

Interlibrary loan offices are closed evenings and weekends, as well as for College holidays. Requests are reviewed and processed only during regular business hours.

Processing and shipping times vary. Requests for articles are usually filled within 3-5 business days and articles are delivered via email. Requests for books are usually filled within 7-10 business days. Links are provided for eBooks and eligible print books are delivered to faculty.

In most instances, a link to request items via interlibrary loan will be present in the library database. In cases where no ILL request link or form is available, please use one of the forms available in the interlibrary loan portal.

Document Delivery

Document delivery services provide faculty access to physical materials owned by the Rooney Library. Articles and chapters may be scanned upon request and delivered to faculty via email. Physical books can be checked out to the requesting faculty member and delivered to their campus office. To facilitate document delivery requests use the appropriate form in the interlibrary loan portal.
