Interlibrary loans are used to obtain items that are not available at the Madigan Library. Current Penn College students, faculty and staff may request interlibrary loans. PCT alumni and community patrons are not eligible for this service and will be directed to use the public library for this service.
It costs you nothing to get an interlibrary loan, however patrons will be charged for all items not returned along with any associated lost book fees or late fees.
Please allow two weeks to receive your request. For some items, it may take longer.
Journal articles will be delivered electronically. Books, DVDs, and other items shipped must be picked up at the Main Circulation Desk. Users will be notified by email when a requested item has been received or if there are any problems filling a request. Items that are not picked will be returned to the lending library.
Patrons will be required to acknowledge receipt of materials by signing and dating their ILL request form at the time of pick up.
Please return books to the Main Circulation Desk.
The loan period for books is determined by the lending institution. Usually, the loan period is four weeks. The patron is responsible for returning the borrowed item(s) by the due date to the Main Circulation Desk. Renewal requests can be made by logging into your library account.

ILL staff can usually determine the lending policy of the institution that holds the dissertation.
