What resources can be requested through Interlibrary Loan?
Only print materials are available for interlibrary loan. Loaning of requested materials is strictly at the discretion of the local Library Director, or that of the local ILL librarian; requests may be denied, assuming legitimate cause. -
How do I make an Interlibrary Loan request?

How long can I check something out?
Materials are loaned for a two-week period; please allow one week for shipping prior to the two-week period. -
May I renew a resource that is on Interlibrary Loan?
Loaned materials may be renewed for an extra two-week period only; there are no additional renewals. No materials may be renewed without the borrowing library first asking permission from the lending library.
