This service is used to borrow materials from other libraries outside of IE University Library’s holdings for research and study. Any material requested from the IE University Library will be acquired online whenever available in this medium.

PROCEDURE:

• Every request must be submitted by filling out this form or clicking the “Request item through Interlibrary Loan” button in our catalog . Note that e-book editions are generally not available for loan, so to speed up the ILL service, we recommend asking three chapters of the book scanned. In this case, please submit three ILL requests, one per chapter, in order to process them properly.
• Regarding printed copies, due to delays in customs, mail services, and other aspects, we also recommend asking three chapters of the book scanned to speed the service up.
• Multiple requests for one user will be managed in sets of three. The same material may not be requested more than once during the academic year.
• The loan is personal and non-transferable.
• Inquiries will be processed provided the user does not have pending fines and/or overdue materials.
• Electronic documents will be sent on the User Portal.
• The estimated loan period for a printed material is 21 days and is non-renewable. However, this policy may also vary depending on the lending institution. 
• Please, note it may take longer to deliver hard-to-find, rare or out-of-print books. Before requesting this type of material, users will be notified and asked if they are interested in receiving it.

Users are responsible for the materials during the loan period. If the material is lost or returned in poor condition, the holder must replace that material.
