In cases where the McAlister Library would be the lending library, we will make every effort to give your request the care and attention it deserves. Exhaust the holdings of your local libraries first. Each extension area has borrowing arrangements with local libraries. Please consult your local extension office or the Fuller Theological Seminary catalog for more information. Keep in mind that most libraries will be reluctant to borrow items for you that are readily available locally.
Interlibrary loan is a process involving transactions based on agreements between libraries.
For that reason when your library does not have the items you need, your requests still need to processed through your local library. If Fuller's main library in Pasadena has the item you need, let your local librarian know. Local libraries have their own rules concerning which users can utilize their interlibrary loan services. Generally, public libraries offer ILL services to local residents. You will also be required to give your consent to copyright restrictions.
