What is it?
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a free service provided by the Labouré College Library to obtain electronic materials (usually journal articles) from another library when the Labouré College Library does not have the item in its own collection.
Why do I need it?
If you are looking for articles in a database and find an article that the Labouré College Library does not have access to (full-text is not available), you can still gain access to it by requesting the article through Interlibrary Loan.

Library staff do their best to get the requested items to you as efficiently as possible; however we are also relying on our network of libraries.
On average, once a request is placed, articles take around 3-7 business days.
A library staff member will email your request to your Labouré email address as soon as it is received.
