Interlibrary Loan

** Please read the following information before submitting a request form **

Description

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) makes it possible for the Law Library to borrow material or receive a copy of material not available at the Law Library. ILL is available to Law Faculty and to currently enrolled Law students. A validated ID may be requested.

Requests

Please complete a separate form for each request. Provide complete book or article information and do not use abbreviations. * Incomplete information may delay your request.

Availability

The following material is often not available through ILL, depending upon the rules of the lending library:

  • multi-volume sets
  • recently published material
  • entire issues of periodicals
  • reference/reserve materials
  • rare books/original manuscripts
  • video tapes
  • some dissertations and theses

Response to Requests

It usually takes 7-15 working days for an ILL request to be filled. Delays do occur due to circumstances beyond our control, and occasionally we are unable to fill a request. ILL books will be delivered to your office or mailbox.

Due Dates

The length of the loan period will vary depending upon the rules of the lending library. An average loan period is 4 weeks. The due date is clearly indicated on the front cover slip on the ILL material. Please return all ILL materials to the Circulation Desk by the due date. If you must ask for a renewal, please request the renewal at least 5 days before the due date. Only one renewal is permitted for each item. Please keep in mind that it is the lending library's decision to renew, and that not all renewal requests are honored.

ILL material is occasionally recalled before its due date by the lending library. We will notify you by e-mail when a recall is made.
