MSU-Great Falls Library lends its materials to other libraries and borrows materials for faculty, staff, and students needing materials not available locally. When we borrow from other libraries on your behalf, we accept the responsibility for the careful use and prompt return of their materials. An understanding by our borrowers of the following regulations and procedures will help us facilitate operations and provide better service. Interlibrary loan requests are accepted from MSU faculty, staff, and students. How to make an Interlibrary Loan Request Please check the library catalog and our full-text databases carefully before making an interlibrary loan request.
Interlibrary loans are expensive for both the borrowing and the lending libraries.
Help us fill your request by writing legibly and filling out the form completely. Turn in your request forms at the circulation desk. Requests can also be made via the Internet. The time required to obtain the material can vary from several days to several months, depending on the availability of the material. In most cases, please allow at least 2-3 weeks for your request.
