The interlibrary loan service supports the library's goal of meeting the research needs of students, faculty administration and staff by providing access to material not owned by the library. Requests for loans of material are made from participating libraries. We reciprocate this service by lending items from our own collection. Requested material is provided in compliance with copyright guidelines.
