Document Supply Services

To request a book, simply fill out an online interlibrary loan book request form. You will need to have signed up for a library account to make a request, as the form will ask you for your PIN.

Please note that undergraduate students do not have privileges in terms of requesting books via interlibrary loan (although undergraduates can make article requests; see below). Other members of the KU community can borrow up to 5 books via interlibrary loan at a time.

Once a request has been submitted, the Library will notify the patron via e-mail when the request has been successfully fulfilled, or if the Library has determined that the item cannot be retrieved. Once received, items are kept for pickup at the Information Desk on the Basement level.

All KU faculty, staff, graduate students, postdoctoral students, and graduate assistants to KU faculty can benefit from the ILL Service.  Undergraduate students and external members, however, are not entitled to request books from other libraries.

•  The online ILL Book Request Form must be submitted online trough the Library’s web site.
