This video shows how to use our interlibrary loan service, which is free. Use it to borrow books or get copies of articles that our library doesn't have. Sometimes, you can borrow videos or CDs, too. All you have to do is supply the information about what you want to borrow; we will do the rest. Items usually come in about a week.
