Can't find the book you need? There are several options for requesting an item.
Use our Interlibrary Loan form to request a book.
Before requesting a book, check the Library Catalog to make sure the library does not have a print or electronic copy of the title.
When completing the Tipasa ILL form, make sure you select the form for the correct item format (options include article, book, or non-print).
Use WorldCat to find books located in other libraries. Use Interlibrary Loan to request a book that you see at another location.
If you still haven't been able to find the book you're looking for, check the catalogs at some nearby libraries we have partnerships with. You might find it there!
