If the library doesn't own a resource I need, is there a way to get it from another library?

If you need something the library doesn't have, you can request we borrow the book (or copy of an article) from another library. To do this, use the Interlibrary Loan link from the library website. This will prompt you to log in to the Interlibrary loan software using your BYUI Net ID and password. Once you have done this and filled out the form asking for your contact information, you will click the button that shows the type of material you are requesting through Interlibrary Loan. After filling in the appropriate information, click "Submit Request". You will receive an email when the items you have requested are available. Articles will be delivered electronically, and books will be held at the main Library Services Desk for you to pick up.

The Interlibrary Loan link can also be found under the USE YOUR LIBRARY tab in the header menu on the library homepage. You can login back in to check the status of your request.
