Have you ever been working on a paper and found a book or article you'd like to use that is not available at the Rosen Library? If so, you can submit a request through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). The first time you use ILL, you will be asked to take a moment to set up an account (when doing so, make sure you choose Rosen as your pickup location for physical items). After that, it takes almost no time at all.
ILL can deliver a book from the main campus library — or from most other libraries — to you via the Rosen Library. ILL can also retrieve journal articles and deliver them to you electronically in just a few days. So the next time you find a source unavailable at the Rosen Library, use ILL!
If you need additional assistance, you can use our handy Interlibrary Loan guide to help you set up your account and start submitting requests.
