Interlibrary Loan

Click here for ILL: Interlibrary Loan Login Screen

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a free service that lets the ULM Library borrow materials from other libraries. Give us citation information and we will look for it. It could take days or weeks to get your materials because of shipping and processing, so do plan ahead. Sometimes other libraries require payment for certain materials, but we will ask you if you are willing to pay first.

If you need further assistance with ILL or have problems with your ILLiad account ask at the Reference Desk on the first floor on your left as you enter the Library. The ILL Librarian, Melinda Matthews, will be glad to help you. She can be reached at matthews@ulm.edu or by phone at (318) 342-1067.
