Interlibrary Loan Requests


Materials that are not available at the HELIN libraries may be ordered through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).  You must allow 2-3 weeks for delivery of ILLs.  See our ILL Policy for further details.  If you need assistance, please see a Reference Librarian.

Requesting a book

Please search the HELIN Library Catalog before requesting a book via ILL.  If a HELIN library owns the book, you may be able to receive it within 2-5 business days by requesting the book via a HELIN loan.

If the book is not available from HELIN, request it using the ILL Book Request form.

You may also want to search CLAN (the Rhode Island public libraries' catalog) to locate the book or WorldCat (a catalog of library holdings worldwide) to verify your information.  An incomplete or inaccurate citation will reduce your chances of getting the book that you want.

Requesting an article

Please search our online full-text periodical databases (e.g., Academic Search Premier, LexisNexis Academic) and/or our E-Journals list before requesting an article via ILL.  If the article is available online, you will be able to retrieve it immediately.

If the article is not available online, request it using the ILL Periodical Article Request form.

You may also want to search a print periodical index to verify your information.  An incomplete or inaccurate citation will reduce your chances of getting the article that you want.

Interlibrary Loan Status

You can check the status of your ILL requests by viewing your library record in the HELIN Library Catalog.
