What is Interlibrary Loan?

 

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service we provide to currently enrolled Trevecca students and Trevecca employees. If there is material you need for your research that you cannot find at Waggoner Library, we can request it from other libraries and have them send it to us. Once the material is here you can check it out from us, use it and then return it to us, and we will take care of getting it back where it belongs! If it is an article you are looking for, it will be sent directly to your email.

Making an ILL Request

You can request items online through interlibrary loan in one of two ways:

1. Find the item in Discovery and click on its title to view the details. There will be a purple 'Request Item through Interlibrary Loan' button that you can click which will attach the item's information to your request, so that you don't have to type it out.

2. If the ILL request button for a title in Discovery is unavailable, use our online interlibrary loan form (you will need to type in the item details)

Important Notes:  Your Trevecca email and the 11-digit Campus ID number from your ID card are both required on all ILL requests. Contact the library if you do not have your 11-digit campus ID number.

If you have questions or need assistance, please call the ILL office (615-248-1548) or email us (ill@trevecca.edu)
