Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

A Guide to ILL at Wellesley.

What is ILL?

Do you need a resource that Wellesley does not have or that is currently checked out? Have you hit a "pay wall" while looking for the full text of an article or book chapter ?  Place an ILL request and we'll try to get it for you!

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is the sharing of library materials worldwide. We find and borrow the resources you need that Wellesley does not have and lend our materials as well.  Loan requests (books, dvd/cds, scores)  will be sent to our library for you to pick up and articles and book chapters are sent to your ILL account as pdfs.

"We search the world to find what you need" is superimposed over a map of the world marked with blue dots from libraries we have borrowed books from through interlibrary loan.
