What may/may not be requested via interlibrary loan?

Answer

MCLA will request loans of books, DVDs, microforms, and other materials, as well as PDFs of articles and book chapters, that are not available via our own library.  

Some items tend not to be available via ILL. These include:

  • Ebooks
  • Streaming video
  • Textbooks  
  • PDFs of more than one chapter (or 10%) of a book
  • Entire volumes or issues of periodicals

Other items tend to be difficult to obtain via ILL, but we will try. These include:

  • Dissertations/theses
  • New popular fiction and nonfiction
  • DVDs – if needed for a class, please request well in advance and let us know when you plan to show the film
