Get books and articles delivered from libraries around the world with Interlibrary Loan

Want a book, article, DVD, or other item that the SMC Library doesn’t have? Get it through Interlibrary Loan! 

 

Requesting items: Start by searching for an item in Library Search. If you don’t see what you need, click Search using Interlibrary Loan > at the top of the screen to get it delivered from another library.

 

Receiving items: Digital articles and chapters will be sent to you via email, usually within 1–2 business days (Monday–Friday). Print books and media items usually arrive in 4–10 business days. You can check on the status of your request in your library account, and you'll receive an email notification when your item is ready.
