Question/Answer
What kinds of materials can I request through Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?
ILL Requests aren't just for books! You can also borrow other materials like:
- DVDs (movies, TV series, educational)
- CDs
- Articles
- Book chapters
- Microfilm/Microfiche (NOTE: FAU Libraries does not have microform readers.)
- Music scores
- Audiobooks
- Thesis or dissertations
The following items might be difficult to find a lender willing to loan them, but are eligible for ILL Requests:
- Newly released materials
- Entire issues of periodicals
- Genealogical materials
- Non-circulating materials (reference books, archival materials, special collections, rare or very old books)
- International materials
- Textbooks (many libraries are unwilling to loan their copies of textbooks, or will only allow a short-term loan)
- eBooks within the Public Domain
The following materials cannot be filled by ILL Request:
- eBooks still under copyright restrictions
- Items available at the FAU Library
