This guide contains information about the borrowing and lending policies for interlibrary loan. See the links below or the tabs above for more information.
Most of the articles that aren't full text have a link that says "Fill Out An ILL Form For This Article or Order Document" Once the new window pops up, the form automatically populates your ILL request form with the information needed to process your request. All you have to do is complete the contact information and click the submit button.
Also "Check Library Holdings In Your Area" or "Check For Full Text." These links can search the rest of our databases and possible find your article quickly.
This guide contains the library's interlibrary loan policies and some helpful tips. Check our policies below or click on the red tabs to begin.
WorldCat Discovery searches for books, videos, and articles in our library and nationwide. Check out the RESERVES list for your professor's reserve collection. Try ADVANCED SEARCH for more options.
Clicking on this red "Request Item" button in WorldCat Discovery will automatically populate your ILL request form with the information needed to process your request. All you have to do is provide contact information and click the submit button. Be sure to enter your student ID number!
Sometimes the databases don't have an interlibrary loan form. When this happens simply copy and paste the citation and send to: ill@lyon.edu.
It's that simple.
Covid Polices
Interlibrary Loan. For any items that we do not own, but you need for research, please fill out the ILL Request form that you see in the WorldCat search result for the item. Or email ill@lyon.edu with the bibliographic information on the item. Physical copies of books can be acquired for local faculty, staff and students. Only digital copies of articles can be acquired for non-locals. If retrieving a physical ILL item, we will allow your entrance to Anna’s office. Please return physical items to the book return in the breezeway.
Curbside pickup. We are implementing curbside pickup and books can be ordered for pickup at askthelibrarian@lyon.edu. We’ll notify you when they are on the cart which will be rolled into the breezeway. They will already be checked out in your name and all you have to do is pick them up!
Returned books should be returned in the wall slot which is also in the breezeway entrance on the right when facing the library.
Use WorldCat Discovery to find most of what you'll need for your research needs. It's the search box in the upper left corner! If that doesn't work, try the A-Z blue box.
Reserves. Because of Covid the reserve collection has been disbanded for this academic year. Please check with the librarians if you need to order an ebook or streaming media. Additionally, documents can be scanned and links loaded into Schoology.
