ILL Request Form
(ITP Students Only Please - Students from other schools should go through their own library ILL department. Thanks.)
If you are staff in the ILL department at another school, please see our ILL Policy Page.
The Basics
Individual requests are only accepted from students, staff, and faculty affiliated with ITP. If you are not affiliated with ITP your request must go through your local library.
The ITP Library has arrangements with many other schools and libraries that allow us to borrow books and obtain journal articles that we do not have in our own collection.
Usually, your requests for articles and books can be filled within a few days, or a week. However, it is best not to wait until the last minute. Some items are more difficult to get.
Most books can be borrowed for up to three weeks. In some cases this may be extended, but not always.
The cost to get copies of articles depends on the source, but is usually $3 to $5 per article. Books borrowed from other libraries cost $3 to $5 each.
Dissertations are most expensive, usually running between $15 and $20, when they can be obtained. Many dissertations are available for free download from ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database. ITP students should ask Lucy or Katrina for detailed information.
Okay, so you know what you need and we don't have it - what next? If your citation is in CSA use the Interlibrary Loan link for that record. You can also submit an ILL request form via email, just click here...
