Can I request a textbook through University Library ILL?
Answer
While the ILL department will attempt to fill your request, we recommend against borrowing textbooks through interlibrary loan. Why?
- Typically, textbooks ordered through interlibrary loan may take weeks before they arrive.
- Very few libraries purchase textbooks and most will not lend them to other libraries.
- You will not be able to borrow it for the entire semester.
If you need a textbook, University Library does have a freshmen textbook reserve collection, which is available at the Circulation Desk.
