Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Article Request FormBook Request FormBook Chapter Request FormLogin to EOU ILL

Interlibrary Loan can help you get access to library materials that EOU Library doesn’t own or have access to, including books, journal articles, newspaper and magazine articles, and other items. Interlibrary Loan services are available to EOU students, faculty, and staff, and to Community Patrons as described in EOU Library’s Circulation Policy

EOU Library does not charge EOU students, faculty, and staff for Interlibrary Loan services and tries to borrow from institutions who do not charge for lending their materials. Some requests for rare materials may require fees, but you will be notified and no fees will be incurred without your approval.

Articles

If you are sure EOU doesn’t have the article, go directly to the article request form.

Otherwise, check to see if articles are available at EOU by using the instructions on our Finding Articles page.

Citations in article databases often include a Find It button Find It@EOU that will perform the search for you.

Article requests usually take 1-3 business days, but always allow as much time as possible.

Most article requests are fulfilled with digital copies. You will receive an email with the article attached.

Books

View our Request Books help page for instructions on how to request books from EOU.

Books requested from WorldCat often take seven to ten days and possibly longer due to COVID-19. Always allow as much time as possible.

Conditions of use depend on the policies of the lending library. The amount of time you have to use the book may vary, and renewals may or may not be allowed. Lending libraries may also place other restrictions, such as requiring that materials be used within the library, or that photocopying is not permitted.

To request a renewal for a WorldCat item, contact the Interlibrary Loan department by email or phone at least four days before the due date. Be sure to include your full name and the title of the item you wish to renew.
