Interlibrary Loan (ILL) locates and obtains books, articles, CDs, or DVDs that are not part of the Ross Pendergraft Library & Technology Center's collections. ILL obtains materials from other state and out-of-state libraries at no cost for the user.

Currently enrolled Tech students, faculty, and staff may use ILL, but must first apply for Library services or renew their account with the Library if it has expired. Other users should use their public library for Interlibrary Loan assistance.

Then, be sure that the Library does not hold the item. Check the Library catalog.

You can now request material. Use one of the three online Interlibrary Loan request forms listed below or even within FirstSearch. You can request multiple items by filling multiple forms.

You can get almost anything through Interlibrary Loan. Materials that are available in the Library should NOT be requested. However, you can request items that are lost, missing, or at the bindery.

You cannot request course textbooks.

Faculty cannot request materials through ILL for the purpose of placing them on Reserve.

Items are usually loaned for a period of two weeks and they cannot be renewed.

Return books and other ILL materials to the Reference Desk.

Do not leave ILL items at the Circulation Desk and do not place any of them in book drops.

You are responsible for the materials until they reach the ILL Office.

ILL materials returned after the due date written on the paperwork with the material will result in an overdue fine of $1 per day.
