Interlibrary Loan: Welcome

The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) department can help you access books, articles and items at other libraries. All current Gustavus students, faculty, and staff can use ILL for both academic and leisure purposes. This greatly expands your options for materials beyond our collections.

Use the tabs above to learn more. If you have questions not covered by this guide, please contact us. 

In general, to initiate an ILL request:

• Look for an option to access full text if you're in a library database.  
• Use the Request from another library button if you're searching "Libraries Worldwide" in the library's catalog; you need to click the title of the item to see the request options.
• All your requests can be tracked via My Library Account.
