If the library does not own the item you need, we will request it for you through our interlibrary loan service. There is no charge for this service to current students and faculty.

To Request an ILL:
Many databases include interlibrary loan forms to complete. For example, EBSCOhost databases provide an ILL form when you click the "Request from another library" link in the article record. If no form is available in the database, you may complete the opens new windowInterlibrary Loan Request Form or copy and paste the citation information and email it to LibILL@oru.edu.

• Be sure to determine that the ORU Library does not own the item you need BEFORE requesting it through interlibrary loan. Check Google Scholar for articles that may be posted free online. If you are searching Google Scholar from off campus, add ORU to Google Scholar library link settings

• Some items are available nearby; others may take a week or more to obtain from out-of-state.

• There is no cost to students requesting Interlibrary Loans.

• Most journal articles are available from lending libraries in PDF format and a download link will be emailed directly to you.

• For book requests, you will receive an email when your item(s) is ready to pick up at the Library Services Desk (1st floor).

• Submit only one request form for each article or book.

• After submitting a request, check your ORU email for the confirmation, which includes the citation information.
