ILL (Interlibrary Loan)

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service that allows library members to borrow books, articles, or other materials from libraries beyond their own. If a library doesn’t have a particular item, they can request it from another library that does. The item is then sent to the user’s library for pickup or digital access. ILL expands access to a wide range of resources, supporting research and learning. This collaboration among libraries helps maximize resource availability without each library needing to own every item. The process typically involves filling out a request and waiting a short period for delivery.
