Borrowing From Other Libraries (Interlibrary Loan)

When you need to locate material not owned by the Mary F. Shipper Library, it’s possible to request and/or borrow materials from other libraries (interlibrary loan or ILL). Physical items are mailed to the Library, so be sure to make your request early enough to allow time for the material to arrive. When possible, the Library requests electronic submission of information which expedites its receipt. PSC Library users who wish to borrow materials from other libraries via ILL must log on to ILLiad with their WVU Login credentials and register their account. Contact the Information Desk for more details.
