Loan (ILL) is a free service through which the
F&M library obtains for members of the F&M
community materials not owned by F&M. To use
ILL, complete the online request form as completely
and accurately as possible. You do not have to know
at what library the material you need can be
found--ILL takes care of that for you. ILL requests
typically take between 5 and 10 days to be
fulfilled. ILL articles are yours to keep, and will
be sent to your campus mail box. ILL books are
available for pick-up at the Circulation Desk, and
circulate for the amount of time indicated by the
lending library.
