Researchers who delve deeply into a subject area may find that, despite the wide array of resources available through the Marx Library, occasionally they will need items that we do not have. When that happens, the Marx Library can usually get the needed books or journal articles through Interlibrary Loan.
What is Interlibrary Loan?
Interlibrary Loan allows a library to borrow needed items from another library for you.
How do I request something on Interlibrary Loan?
To use Interlibrary Loan, you will need to setup an ILLiad account. Complete the First Time User Registration form. Any field with a red asterisk (*) by iit is a required field. The form will not process if there is nothing in one of these fields.
Login and fill out the request form for the item type that you need. These include:

If we can get the item from another Alabama library or from a library with which we have an agreement, there is no charge for ILL. If there is a charge, we will let you know beforehand, and you can choose whether or not you want us to obtain the item for you.
