Searching at Busse Library: Interlibrary Loan

Have a question about doing research or using the library? We are here to help!

Books, DVD’s, and journal articles owned by other United States libraries may be requested through Interlibrary Loan. Although a free service, ILL requests are limited to scholarly research needs. Journal articles usually arrive within a week, while books often take longer. The lending library’s assigned due date spans three weeks to a full term and is determined by its respective policy. Complete a separate online form for each desired article, book, or DVD not owned by Busse Library. The online Interlibrary Loan form is conveniently included within a drop-down menu at the top of this page. This same online ILL request form is available on the Busse Library webpage; various databases supply a direct link to submit an ILL request.
