Physical Books/Materials
ILL requests for physical materials (books, DVDs, etc.) will be filled as long as the lending libraries can fulfill the requests.
ILLiad lending terms are set by the lending libraries. Long or extended loan request times are not realistic. Use the Book Request Form and enter as much citation information as possible. Physical materials take time to arrive. Please plan your research accordingly.
There are two ways to initiate an ILL request:
- CSU+: May be used to borrow physical materials from other CSU libraries. This is done by searching the through the Broome Library catalog
- ILLiad: May be used for all materials whether from CSU libraries or other libraries. If the requested materials are electronic articles, or book chapters, they may be retained by the requesting patrons. Loans of physical materials must be returned by the date due on the item.
