What is Interlibrary Loan?

Using ILL

There are two ways to access the Interlibrary Loan System: through DELCAT and database links, or directly through the ILL button on the library homepage.

 

To access ILL through DELCAT or a database:

1) Look for a sign in button if you're in DELCAT 

2) Once signed in, look for a button that says "Request item through Interlibrary Loan." Screen shot of library item with request button highlighted by a red box.
