Interlibrary Loan

Request Articles, Books, and Book Chapters via Interlibrary Loan.

PennWest Interlibrary Loan Services

Interlibrary loan or “ILL” is a service provided, usually for free through cooperative agreements with other libraries, to current students, current and/or retired faculty, staff, and administrators. Requests can be placed for books, book chapters, articles, media, and more. Requests can be scanned and delivered electronically, physically mailed to a campus location, or even mailed to your home. Interlibrary Loan provides items from within the PennWest University Libraries collections as well as from reciprocal libraries across the nation. Interlibrary Loan provides libraries the ability to share resources within a framework of mutual understanding and good faith.

 

The table below summarizes our Interlibrary Loan options for on campus, 100% online, and off campus patrons. For more information on using ILLiadEZBorrow, and Primo to request items, please visit the pages on the left.
