Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary loan services are available for all patrons. Articles will be emailed to your Iona email account. Please note that due to the closure and reduced services of many lending institutions, we may not be able to fulfill all Interlibrary loan requests. Please allow 3 weeks for books to arrive and be made available for pick-up at Ryan Library, articles may take 7- 10 days. Requests for recently published textbooks are often denied by lending libraries. ILL services are subject to change at any time, please email the ILL office if you have any questions.
