InterLibrary Loan Request Form
Interlibrary loan is when you ask the librarians to see if an item (ex. book or article) is available from another library. This is a free services for SFCC students, staff and faculty.
Please note that interlibrary loan requests take time, especially if an item is being mailed. Do not expect to make a request and have the item show up that day or even that week. The more time you allow for interlibrary loan, the better.
