Library Website: Interlibrary Loan (17)

Can’t find an item at any of our branches? Interlibrary Loan finds items at other library systems and borrows them for all Nashville Public Library members.

Okay, be honest, who is aware of the library’s online Interlibrary Loan request form? Anyone? If you haven’t checked it out yet, what are you waiting for?

“I’ve requested several woodworking books we don’t own.” – Jenny
“I’ve borrowed sheet music collections through ILL.” – Kyle

Is there anything you’ve been longing to read to that the library system doesn’t own? What are you waiting for? Now you can request things quickly using the online form!

And remember, this also means anyone can take ILL requests from patrons. Instead of transferring a phone call to Interlibrary Loan, try filling out the online form for the patron. It will save the patron some time and they’ll remember how helpful we all are.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: 1. Take a look at the Interlibrary Loan page (under Services on the website). 2. Find the ILL Title Request form. 3. If there’s a book, movie, or CD you’ve always been looking for that the library doesn’t own, go ahead and request it. 4. Repeat this to yourself 5 times (and don’t forget it): “If the library system does not own something, we can request the item with the online Interlibrary Loan Request form.” 5. Take the survey.
