Can't find it at our library? Use our Inter-Library Loan service to borrow materials from other libraries. Before requesting books or articles from another library, you should search the Library Catalog (books), or the Journal List (articles) to see if we have the item you need. If you still can't find what you're looking for, then request the item through interlibrary loan. Here is a link to the Inter-Library form
