InterLibrary Loan (ILL)

Need a book or article that is not available at PC or through PASCAL? For students, faculty, and staff the library will borrow items from other libraries across the United States. Please check with a Reference Librarian to be sure that Thomason Library does not have access to a book or article before completing an ILL request.

Request an Item

Please send an email to ILL@presby.edu with as much information as possible about the item (a complete citation is preferable).

Item Pick-Up

Articles usually arrive within 5-7 days, books within 7-14 days.  We will notify you by email when your ILL item has arrived, and you can pick up all items at the library Circulation Desk.

Cost

There is usually no charge for the ILL service; however, some libraries may charge a fee before they will lend certain items.  We will notify you in advance if there will be a fee associated with your ILL request.
