Can't Find What You Need?

Can't find what you need? We can help! If the WVSOM Library is lacking the resource you need we can "borrow" that resource from another library through an Inter-Library Loan (ILL). The IIL is used by WVSOM Library patrons to request items not owned by the WVSOM Library.

The ILL process may also be used by WVSOM Statewide Campus (SWC) and/or MSOPTI students and faculty located off-campus for obtaining items (books, journal articles, AV materials, etc.) owned by the WVSOM Library but not available at the SWC or MSOPTI location.

Inter-Library Loan Procedures

Requesting a resource through an ILL requires that the requestor complete an ILL form.

• Request an Inter-Library Loan

If the requested resource is available in an electronic format it will be emailed to the address specified on the ILL Form. In most cases these resources are delivered as an attachment to an email in the Adobe .PDF format.

Hard-copy items, such as books, AV materials, etc., are to be picked up at the WVSOM Library. The only exceptions are for SWC or MSOPTI affiliated borrowers that indicate and/or arrange an alternate pick-up location (see FAQ's below for details).
