Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service that obtains study and research materials from other sources that are not available at our facility.
Through ILL, authorized ASU Library patrons may have access to books, journals articles, periodicals, government publications, videos, and other materials not owned or available from the ASU Library. ILL is not guaranteed since it is entirely up to the holding institution whether or not they will loan their materials. An ILL request can be initiated by providing as much information as possible relative to the item you are requesting to the ASU Library by phone, electronic email, via on-line catalog or in person.
