Inter-Library Loan

By requesting an interlibrary loan (ILL), borrowers can obtain many books and articles from journals not held in the Burroughs Learning Center Library Catalog. Books, journal articles, master’s thesis, government documents, and technical reports are just some of the types of materials that can be obtained for you. ILL services are offered to Bethel University faculty, staff, and students. 

INTERLIBRARY LOAN INSTRUCTIONS

Before placing an ILL request, you should first...

Check the Library Catalog and on-line databases (Electronic Resources) to make sure that Burroughs Learning Center does not already own a copy of what you are requesting. ILL staff will cancel a request if they determine that you can obtain the material yourself from the Library catalog or online databases.   If you are having trouble finding what you are looking for, check out our Tutorials to aid in your search.
