"But what about this article that doesn't have full text?"

"But what about this book that doesn't show up in the catalog?"

"But I wanted to read A Storm of Swords and you don't have it."

You're in luck. Welcome to the wonderful world of Interlibrary Loan. You know how libraries loan out their items to you? Well interlibrary loan is like that, except what happens is one library loans an item to another library (usually so that the second library can loan the item out to one of their patrons). Here at ESU Interlibrary loan (or ILL for short) comes in 2 forms, Illiad and EZ-Borrow.

You can log into either system HERE.

Please note that we can only request items we do not already own.

Questions?

We tell you the differences in depth between EZ-Borrow and ILLiad on our Interlibrary Loan page.  Go there to find out how to request books, articles, theses, and more.

Both are FREE to ESU ecard holders.
