Interlibrary Loan requests can be divided into two groups: Loans and Articles.
A loan is any stand-alone item that requires package delivery. This includes:
- Books
- Audiobooks
- CDs
- Videos/DVDs
- Microfilm/Microfiche
- Theses
- Individually published reports
An article is any item that is copied out of a stand-alone item. This includes:
- Journal/newspaper/magazine articles
- Book chapters
- Papers published as part of conference proceedings
Most of these items have their own specific request forms on the ILL user page. For those that do not, here’s a rule of thumb: If it’s a loan, use the Request a Book form, then indicate the actual format in the “Notes” field.
