What is Interlibrary Loan?

What is Interlibrary Loan and Why Use it?       
  • Interlibrary Loan is a service provided at most public and academic libraries
     
  • If you need a book or an article and the Green River Holman Library does NOT have it, we will get it from another library and bring it here for you
  • For your research it is important to search many places.
    • FIRST, start with the books and articles available through the Holman Library.
    • THEN If you find books and articles that the Library does NOT have access to, just request them through Interlibrary Loan.
  • Using Interlibrary Loan increases the amount of resources available to you and helps you become a more thorough researcher!
