Libraries all over the world participate in Interlibrary Loan (ILL) in a cooperative effort to provide articles, books, and other materials to researchers, students, and patrons. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Some materials may be difficult to obtain, including special collections, rare books, or fragile items.
Loan periods for items obtained through ILL vary widely due to different circulation policies throughout the United States and worldwide.
Check the due date printed on the label of your borrowed item or your ILL account.
From your account, you can submit new requests, review the status of existing requests, download electronic deliveries, and cancel requests.
University of Michigan students, staff, and faculty outside the MLaw community should contact the University Library ILL department. https://www.lib.umich.edu/interlibrary-loan
Outside patrons and institutions can contact our ILL department at lawlibill@umich.edu.
