Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery services are provided to obtain materials NOT available in the Butler University Libraries from other libraries or from commercial document suppliers. Requests should be submitted after careful research. It is not the purpose of Interlibrary Loan to obtain browsing materials. When searching the FirstSearch Databases, patrons can also submit their requests directly from FirstSearch. Before submitting any request, requesters should check the Butler University's Web Catalog to determine that Butler University Libraries DO NOT own the needed materials.
Reference librarians are available during most library hours to provide assistance.
Through cooperative agreement, our libraries may obtain some materials at no charge. In the event where a charge is necessary, requesters are asked to indicate the maximum amount they are willing to pay on the request form. If this space is left blank, the maximum amount is assumed to be zero and only non-charging lenders will be contacted. Additional costs will be accrued if the material is overdue, lost, or damaged. Lending libraries determine any conditions regarding the use of their materials.
