Welcome to the Library

Interlibrary Loans

Interlibrary loans supplement the library resources of Holland College. You can use the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Service to request books, periodical articles, and other materials owned by other libraries.

Who Can Use the Service?

All Holland College students, instructors, and other staff are eligible to borrow material through the Interlibrary Loan Service.  Your request should be directly related to your program of study or professional (job-related) responsibilities.

Is There a Charge This Service?

Most lending libraries charge a fee of $10-20 for ILL service, but Library Services absorbs this cost for staff and students. Because of this expense, however, we limit the maxiumum number of requests to 10 items per person per year.  Also, as noted above, your request should be directly related to your program of study or professional (job-related) duties.

Users who require expedited service such as shipment by courier will be expected to cover the costs of such service.

Where to Make Your Request

You may make your request at your local College Resource Centre or you may use the ILL form provided below.   Please supply as much source information as possible and/or ask resource centre for staff for assistance in completing the form.
