Important Information About Interlibrary Loan During COVID-19

• Interlibrary Loan staff are working remotely and will try to fulfill all requests for materials that can be delivered electronically. Unfortunately, we cannot process any requests for borrowing physical material from other libraries at this time.
• We encourage you to submit requests for the sources you are looking for, no matter the original format, and we will attempt to either find them online for you, ask other libraries to scan requested materials, or suggest alternate sources.
• Interlibrary Loan books (they have a colored paper band around the cover) can be returned in the book drop outside the Young Library/Bass Hall.

See Library Services During COVID-19.
