Types of Materials Borrowed Interlibrary loan is an integral element in collection development. The interlibrary loan staff will request materials not owned by the library or missing from the library's collection, or materials owned by the library that are in the process of being repaired and are temporarily unavailable.

Forms are available for placing a request.
A reference staff member will transfer the appropriate information to a standard interlibrary loan form. Requests for photocopies must include indication of compliance with the U.S. Copyright Law. D. Turnaround Time Service will be provided as quickly as possible. Turnaround time varies depending upon the lending library and the materials requested. Patrons will be notified by telephone or by mail if the patron does not have a telephone available.
