Borrowing Books

Getting books and other materials from other libraries is easy. Just follow the steps below:

1. Verify that KU does not already own what you want by checking the Library Catalog

2. Search for the item you want in WorldCat, an international database of library holdings

3. When you find the title, click on the Request Via Interlibrary Loan link

4. Then log in to your ILLiad account*
Search for an item in libraries near you:
WorldCat.org >>

* ILLiad is the library's system for managing interlibrary loan transactions. You can use ILLiad to send ILL requests, check the status of current orders, review past orders and keep an archive of items received electronically. You can create an account here.
