Interlibrary Loan

Last Modified July 30, 2021.

Requests for printed works and other physical materials may be made at this time. However please be aware that our ability to successfully fill requests and the turnaround time it takes to receive them will be slower than usual due to continued library closures around the world and our commitment to safety for our patrons and library staff.

ILL with other libraries in the UC system: Patrons can begin requesting items from other UCs on July 30, 2021. through UC Library Search.  Please note that all UC campuses are at different stages of reopening, with various staffing constraints, and not all of the UC libraries will be resuming interlibrary loan at the same time.

ILL with libraries outside of the UC system: On July 30, 2021 patrons can resume requesting items from non-UC libraries through UC Library Search.

NOTE: Beginning July 30, 2021 you will use My Library Account through UC Library Search to manage your ILL items from other UCs and My ILL Requests to manage your ILL items from libraries outside of the UC system.

We are unable to borrow items within HathiTrust ETAS from other libraries without jeopardizing access to this important resource for the entire UCI community. More information about HathiTrust ETAS can be found at https://www.lib.uci.edu/hathitrust-emergency-temporary-access-service. 

Please email ILL staff at libill@uci.edu or text us at 949-303-7535 with any questions. We thank you for your understanding and patience.
