Inter-Library Loan

Summary

  • If an item is unavailable through OhioLINK or the local MVNU catalog, you may see the option to request it through Inter-Library Loan. This will send a request to your local library staff, who will then identify libraries in the nation (or around the world) that can fulfill your request. There are two categories of materials that can be requested

Loans

  • A loan will send a physical copy of the material requested to your local library (Books, Media, etc.). Delivery times vary for these since they may come from anywhere in the nation.

Copies

  • If you are requesting an article or section of a book, the lending library can send copies of the material. It is recommended that the requested pages be <20 pages. This will be delivered to you as a digital file via email.
