Interlibrary Loan
If you can't find what you need using the Library Catalog or LINK+, you may borrow books, media or journal articles from libraries worldwide through our ILL service. Submit an online request by logging in below or filling out a form at the Reference Desk. Fines for overdue ILL books are $1 per day, per item. The replacement cost for a lost/damaged item may vary. Plan ahead — ILL items may take up to two weeks to reach us through the U.S. mail system.
Distance education students who have questions about obtaining research materials, may contact the Interlibrary Loan Department at (562) 903-4833, or Flo Ebeling.
