General Information

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a free service for UC students, staff and faculty searching for items not held by the UCLA Library. Upon request, our staff will search for items in other libraries both in the U.S. and abroad. Articles and book chapters can be emailed directly to the requester. Books can be picked up at the requester's preferred library.

How to Request an Item

  • UC Library Search(opens in a new tab): Log in to your library account by clicking "My Library Account" in the top right corner. Once logged in, search the catalog for the materials you need. In a catalog record, under "How to get it," choose "Request through Interlibrary Loan."
  • Blank ILL Request Forms: These requests are for titles not found in UC Library Search. Requests using these forms will be delayed. In UC Library Search(opens in a new tab), select the ellipses icon (...) in the navigation bar at the top, and then choose "ILL Request — Blank ILL Request."

Eligibility

ILL is free to the following borrowers:

  • UC faculty members, including emeriti
  • UC academic library cardholders
  • UC students
  • UC staff library cardholders

Alumni, holders of courtesy, access and fee cards, members of the general public and UCLA Extension students and faculty are not eligible for UCLA ILL services. These users should request interlibrary loans through their local public libraries.

Parameters

Items that can be requested:

  • Items not owned by UCLA libraries.
  • Items that are checked out of UCLA libraries, excluding materials on reserve for a course.
  • Items missing from UCLA libraries.
    • Before requesting an interlibrary loan for a missing item, check UC Library Search(opens in a new tab) to see if another UCLA library has a copy. A formal search for the item can be requested at the owning library's circulation desk.

Items that cannot be requested:

  • Reference materials
  • Course reserves
  • Non-circulating items (i.e. Special Collections)

Items that may be difficult to obtain:
