Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) provides access to resources not owned by the RHEC Library. Libraries around the world share their collections with you. This service is free of charge for RHEC Member-affiliated students, faculty, and staff. You must have an active RHEC Library card to submit a request.
Loaned items (books and media) typically arrive in a week. Articles typically arrive in 24-48 business hours and will be delivered to you electronically. Notification of receipt of materials is provided by email. Books and media are available for pickup at the RHEC Library.
- Textbooks with a publication date within the last 5 years may not be requested
- Community borrowers may place copy requests (journal articles, book chapters), but cannot place loan requests for physical items
- Due dates for loaned materials are set by the lending library. If you need a renewal, please contact the ILL department so we may request a renewal on your behalf.
