D'Amour Library: Interlibrary Loan &amp; Document Delivery: Home

Interlibrary Loan

Note about books: Due to changes at USPS, shipping now takes longer than it had previously. When requesting books from other libraries, please expect that it could now take weeks to arrive. The ILL office does their best to get requests in quickly, but once a book has shipped, there is nothing we can do to rush the request. Please plan accordingly.

Interlibrary Loan is a simple way of obtaining research material from other libraries. This service is only available to current WNE students, staff, and faculty at no charge to them. Fill out the Interlibrary Loan Request form to request articles, book chapters, books, or DVDs.

In December 2020, D’Amour Library ILL was accepted into the OCLC Express Program for our quick lending times. This program benefits our patrons as we now receive articles and book chapters faster than libraries that are not a part of this program.

Articles & Book Chapters

Delivered by email – at times on the same day, other times one or two days after the request is made
Rush requests are accepted
For fastest service, fill out all fields on the ILL form

Textbooks, ebooks, and recently published books are not available through ILL
Books received on ILL may not be placed on Course Reserve.

Document Delivery

Faculty may request scans of books held by D'Amour Library. A scan of a book chapter - including title and verso - will be made available so long as it does not exceed 10% of the book. To order a Document Delivery, fill out the Interlibrary Loan Request form and select the "Document Delivery" option. Requests will be filled within three business days.
