InterLibrary Loan

If all resources have been exhausted in the McCain Library, you can place an InterLibrary Loan request. The OCLC First Search database, WorldCat, will identify other libraries which hold the particular titles you need. (WorldCat includes bibliographical records for books, journal/magazine titles, dissertations, theses, A/V materials and other miscellaneous monographs.) Simply fill out an ILL request form,  and the ILL Librarian will request the material from another institution. Although most institutions respond within one week, allow 2-3 weeks for availablility. ILL forms are available at the reference and circulation desks, or you can fill the form out online (see below).  Please review the ILL Policy for important information regarding use of the InterLibrary Loan service.
