Currently enrolled students and currently affiliated faculty, staff, residents and fellows may utilize interlibrary loan (ILL) services. See "Access and borrowing Privileges at Drexel University Libraries" for more information.
Interlibrary Loan services are available to Drexel University distance learning students. Since materials must be requested from another library and reshipped to distance education students, delivery may take up to two weeks for books. If a deadline is at issue, be sure to put the latest possible date that the material can be used on the online Interlibrary Loan form. Photocopies are usually provided within two to four business days.
Additional services for Distance Learning students, including delivery of materials owned by Drexel University Libraries, are described on the Services for Distance Learners page.
Distance Learners must identify themselves as such on all Interlibrary Loan request forms.
Drexel students, faculty, staff, residents and fellows may request articles, books, book chapters, conference papers, theses/dissertations, patents, audio/visual materials and government documents not owned by the Drexel University Libraries. Use the E-Z borrow service to request books, including titles owned by Drexel that are currently checked out.
