Online InterLibrary Loan Request Form
Frequently asked questions about ILL

What is Interlibrary Loan?

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service agreement in which participating libraries share items. The SFCC Library borrows materials from other library collections for our students and the local community. In turn, the Spokane Falls Library loans items to other libraries.

Libraries lend materials and supply photocopies in accordance with national and international copyright laws.

Spokane Falls faculty, students and staff may use this service.

How do I request materials through Interlibrary loan?

Before using Interlibrary loan, check the Spokane Falls Library Online catalog. If the material you need is not available in our catalog, you may request the item using the book request form or the magazine article request form available at the reference desk. Or try our new online request form.

All requests should be as complete as possible. You will receive the best and fastest service when you identifiy the materials as completely as possible. Provide accurate contact information in case of questions by library staff.
