interlibrary loan policies

Interlibrary loan (ILL) policies allow you to borrow materials from other libraries if your local library doesn’t have them. Typically, you must have a library card and meet certain eligibility criteria. Requests are subject to availability and may take several days to weeks. Borrowed items often have borrowing limits, processing fees, and return deadlines. Some items, like rare books or certain digital resources, may not be available through ILL. The policies aim to facilitate access to a wider range of materials while maintaining fair use and resource management for participating libraries.
