What is Interlibrary Loan?
Interlibrary Loan services provide users access to books and journals not available in our library. We are part of the Health Sciences Libraries Consortium in our area and the National Library of Medicine in Maryland. Also, we belong to the Tri-state College Library Cooperative, a group of 36 academic and special libraries.

How much will it cost?
There are no charges to our users for interlibrary loan requests. We do ask that you be selective in your choices, as the library does pay for each request.
