Interlibrary Loan vs. Document Delivery & Retrieval Services
|
We are expanding our Document Delivery & Retrieval Services to all students, faculty, and staff due to the COVID-19 crisis. This includes books, book chapters, articles from the library’s collections, and interlibrary loans. Students living on campus as well as those approved to be on campus can pick up their physical items in Dinand. All items that can be scanned will be delivered electronically. Access to physical items is available to the entire campus community using our new Drive-up to Pick-up service. The library will mail books to students living at a distance, however this excludes Interlibrary Loan. See our guide for more detailed information. |
- For items not owned/accessible by College of the Holy Cross Libraries, select Interlibrary Loan.

Interlibrary Loan allows you to...
- Request items not owned/accessible by College of the Holy Cross Libraries
- Check the status of your requests
- Request renewals of your items
- Check your due dates
- Receive and download PDFs of articles directly from your ILLiad account
- Expected turnaround time of 1-14 business days (if physical item is coming from a long distance away)
- With ILLiad, it is easier to submit your interlibrary loan requests because you enter your name, address, email, and phone number into the system once, at the time of your first request
Document Delivery & Retrieval Services allow faculty to...
- Request items within College of the Holy Cross Libraries Collections
- Check the status of your orders
- Renew items via the Library Catalog
