Interlibrary Loan

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.
