INTERLIBRARY LOAN

Please note that not every journal, catalog or book which may appear in an index is available in Consort or Ohiolink. You may need to fill out an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request. These forms are online and may take 2-4 weeks to be filled by the library, so it would be in your best interest to plan ahead. You will receive an email from the ILL department when your materials have arrived. If the staff have a question while placing your request (for instance the volume and year of a journal you requested do not match), it is possible you will be contacted. This is just one reason why it is important to keep printed copies of all of your online search results.
