Request from Another Library - Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

What is an Interlibrary Loan?

The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service provides access to materials from libraries beyond the Yavapai Library Network (YLN). Materials may be requested from other libraries (locally to internationally) via the ERAU Hazy Library.

How Do I Submit a Request?

To request an item from another library, use one of the Interlibrary Loan online request forms below or e-mail ERAU Prescott Interlibrary Loan, Library Information Resources Associate, or call at 928-777-3890.

Interlibrary Loan Users

This Service is available to all ERAU Prescott faculty, staff, and enrolled students.

Charges for Interlibrary Loan Services

There is no charge to request and receive materials via ILL. However, the borrower is responsible for any overdue fines or the replacement cost(s) of any damaged or lost items.

Copyright Restrictions for Interlibrary Loans

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, U.S. Code) governs the making of copies or other reproductions of copyrighted material under certain conditions specified in the law. Libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a copy for study, scholarship or research. If a user makes a request for or later uses a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of fair use, then the user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of the copyright law.

Average Waiting Period for an Interlibrary Loan

The average request takes approximately 10 days to three weeks to be completed. Loan periods are determined by the lending library and are typically a minimum of two weeks. Photocopies of magazine and/or journal articles are yours to keep. The ILL staff makes every effort to fill your request; however, there is no guarantee that a request can be filled. We will notify you if we are unable to locate and borrow the requested item(s).
