An Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a request to borrow books or magazine/journal articles from libraries outside of Algonquin. An ILL brings the requested item to our library. An Interlibrary loan normally takes two weeks from the date that your request is confirmed

ILL is available to current Algonquin students, faculty and staff only. Your Library account must be clear of fines and overdue material.
