Q: What is Interlibrary Loan?
Answered by: Jessica Bower Relevo

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a lending service provided to the Yale community. If Yale does not own or have access to certain materials (books, microforms, online articles, etc.), patrons can request to borrow them from another library via ILL. 

Current Yale students, faculty, and staff with valid netID access should check item availability on the Borrow Direct database before placing requests through the ILL system. Alumni with library borrowing privileges may also access the ILL service.
