Is there a charge?

There is no fee for requesting interlibrary loan materials.*

*If you are a distance student and your interlibrary loan materials are mailed to you, you will be responsible for the cost of mailing them back to Williams Library.

How do I place a request?

Most requests can be made directly from the library catalog by clicking the Interlibrary Loan link, or by using the Find it @ NSU! button/link in the databases.

But it's not in the catalog... (blank request forms)

Occasionally you will need to request an item that you've run across in the course of your research which does not appear in the library catalog.

For this type of request, you can use the Interlibrary Loan Request Form.
