Use Interlibrary Loan & Document Delivery (ILL) to request the item from another library.

- NOTE! You can also request an ILL for articles that the Library has in print.
- Create an account if you've not used ILL before by entering your Blackboard login.

Articles generally take 2 - 5 days, depending on whether the lending library can send the documents electronically.

Books will take longer, usually 7 - 10 days, since the book has to physically be sent through the mail.
