Your Interlibrary Loan items now have a new home!  As of yesterday (July 26, 2010), you can now pick up Interlibrary Loan items at the Circulation Desk on the second floor of Newman Library--quick and easy!

What is Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?  Well, Interlibrary Loan is the service that we offer you when we don't own the books, articles, or other resources that you may need for your research and instruction.  If you ever come across anything that you can't find in Addison or through Get VText, simply fill out a request for it with Interlibrary Loan.  A recent (2008) assessment of our ILL service showed that 74% of all items were received within 7 days of their request.   Turnaround time for journal articles is usually even faster; over 91% of the articles requested are received electronically!
