What can be borrowed through Interlibrary Loan?
Answer
We encourage you to always submit a request for materials you are interested in using. In some cases we may be able to purchase items that are not available through ILL if they support the curriculum.
Libraries traditionally share or lend journal articles, print books, book chapters, and some media formats.
The following materials are usually not available through ILL:
- entire eBooks
- textbooks
- recently published books and articles
- whole issues or volumes of journals
- newspapers in their original paper form
- reference books
- rare books and manuscripts
- maps
- videos, DVDs, films
- sound recordings and audiobooks
Contact us at ill@goucher.edu if you have a special request.
