About Interlibrary Loan

Can't find it in LSU Libraries? Is the book currently checked out?  We can help you borrow books, articles, CDs, DVDs and more from other libraries. We can also provide scans of printed articles, book chapters, and microforms held by Middleton Library to eligible patrons.  Faculty members even have the option of having ILL materials delivered to their departmental mailboxes or having them held at the Access Services desk.
