The Interlibrary Loan service provides students, faculty, and staff of the Wilf and Beren campuses with books, book chapters, journal articles, and other library materials that are not reflected in the YULIS Catalog or not available at their campus library.
Reference works, rare books, fragile volumes, and non-circulating items are generally not available through Interlibrary Loan.
Fill out one of the online forms below, or the printed forms available in the libraries, to request material through Interlibrary Loan.

Required textbooks will no longer be able to be requested through Interlibrary Loan.
Unfortunately, though we understand that textbook costs are high, we can't facilitate interlibrary loan requests for textbooks for the following reasons:
Instructors are encouraged to work with the University Libraries through our Open Educational Resources (OER) and textbook alternatives program to identify free or low-cost options to their traditional course materials. Interested instructors should reach out to Wendy Kosakoff, Public Services and Outreach Librarian, for more information.
