Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a way to obtain journal articles, books, newspaper articles, and dissertations that Randall Library doesn’t own. This is a FREE service for students, faculty, and staff at UNCW. You do not need to know what library owns material that you need. Simply give us the citation and we'll obtain the item for you. If you have never used this service, you will first need to create an account.

Don't wait until the last minute to do your research! ILL requests can take 7-10 days for books and 3-4 days for journal articles. Make sure you give yourself enough time!
