Items Available Through Interlibrary Loan

Answer

Interlibrary Loan can be used to get many different resources we do not have here at the Macalester Library. Some of these items will be physical resources, like books or films, that get delivered directly here, while others will be delivered electronically.

Here is a list of some of the types of resources available to request:

There are some types of items that cannot be sent through ILL:

  • Electronic books (ebooks) and media
  • Whole issues or volumes of periodicals
  • Recent or un-microfilmed newspapers
  • Reference or rare books
  • Maps

There are also some types of resources that, while available to request, are frequently denied by lending libraries for a number of different reasons. That doesn't mean you absolutely won't get the items, only that there is a chance the request will get canceled. These items include:

  • Textbooks 
  • Newly published materials
  • Dissertations 
  • Psyc Measurements
