BIO 3352 & 4351: Research Methods in Biology: InterLibrary Loan

What is InterLibrary Loan?

InterLibrary Loan is a service that the West Library provides to all students free of charge.  If there is a resource that is not available at the West Library, either physically or online, then you can request that the West Library staff find a copy of that resource from another library

So InterLibrary Loan is a Library service where you can request resources from other libraries.

Guidelines for using InterLibrary Loan

  • use ILL as a last resort and not as a first option
  • encourage students to contact Reference and exhaust our resources before turning to ILL
  • remind them NOT to submit multiple requests for the same article/book
