What is Interlibrary Loan?
Interlibrary loan, or ILL, are materials not owned by Case Western Reserve University that have been obtained from libraries at other institutions for our patrons to use.
Before initiating any interlibrary loan transaction, please check the CWRU Library Catalog and the OhioLINK Catalog to see if the material is available. Please also check the CWRU e-journals Portal to determine if a journal article is available electronically before submitting a request.
