Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service by which the Bishop Library Interlibrary Loan staff obtains research materials not available in the Bishop Library.

Interlibrary loan is available to current students, faculty and staff.  Alumni and community members should visit their local public library for service.

Books, articles, book chapters, and other materials not available in the Bishop Library may be requested through interlibrary loan.  Please do not request textbooks through interlibrary loan.

ILLiad is the resource sharing management software used by the Bishop Library.  The ILLiad system allows you to place interlibrary loan requests, track your requests, check due dates, renew items, and view your interlibrary loan borrowing history.  You will need to fill out a one-time registration form to set up your account.  All interlibrary loan requests must be submitted through your ILLiad account.
