ILL (InterLibrary Loan)

Getting books and articles from other libraries

1. Can you email or fax my ILL articles to me?

Because we do not receive ILL articles from lending libraries as emails or attachments, we are unable to fax or email them to you.

 

2. Can you mail me my ILL materials?

You will need to come to the Library to pick up materials requested via InterLibrary Loan.

 

3. How do I get books or articles if the Wheelock Library doesn't have them?

The Wheelock Library may be able to borrow a copy of the book or get a photocopy of the article from another library.

National, regional and international students who would like to borrow materials that are at Wheelock (or any other library) can utilize the InterLibrary Loan services offered by their local public and/or affiliate library.

Policies will vary, so plan your time accordingly.
