If you follow the official Texas Wesleyan University TikTok account, you may have noticed our Interlibrary Loan or ILL Department is in a recent video! The TikTok features Kollyn Payne, our ILL and Copy-Cataloging Assistant, as she assists a student in submitting an ILL form for a book not available in our collection.
Although we may not have every book or article you are looking for, the West Library can still obtain it for you. We can borrow from libraries that do! We borrow (and lend) items within and outside of Texas! Below, you will find some of the thank you notes we have received from libraries across the United States through ILL. The New Orleans Public Library sent us a coin when they mailed our book back! Libraries sharing their materials gives patrons access to information and items they might not otherwise have access to.
However, there is a wait period between submitting an ILL request and receiving the item. Books can take 1 to 3 weeks to arrive, while articles are received digitally between 1 to 3 days.
You can find the ILL request form here: https://westlibrary.txwes.edu/resources/ill
