InterLibrary Loan (ILL) has been disabled at this time.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
If our Library does not have the book or article you are looking for and PASCAL can't fill your request what do you do?
You can use our InterLibrary Loan Service!
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a FREE SERVICE for all currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff of J. Drake Edens Library.
ILL provides access to thousands of other library collections across the United States that contain books, journal articles, and other media.
If there is a book or article that J. Drake Edens Library does not own, and it isn't available through PASCAL, you can request it using our online ILL request forms.
We will contact other libraries who own the requested material and provide you with the book or a photocopy of the article.
If the Library does not own the item, you may request it using the Interlibrary Loan form for books or for articles.
You will be able to make the request by searching through the Library catalog, if the item is not available you will be guided towards a link leading to our ILL form.
**Pro-Tip:
Make sure you type the title of your book or article exactly and place quotation marks around the title.
Example: "Pride and Prejudice"
Turn-around time may depend on availability of the item, locations/distance of the lending library, and lender conditions or restrictions.
Interlibrary loans are typically requested from another library within 24 hours.

You will receive an email when your items are available:
Please comply with all instructions from the lending library, such as copyright restrictions for articles and due dates for books.
