Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery

Any UMass student, faculty or staffperson may request material not owned by UMass from Interlibrary Loan. It's simple to set up an account on the Interlibrary Loan webpage; enter your library barcode number (it's in the lower right corner of your UCard), complete the brief form and you'll be ready to request items that are not held by the UMass Libraries.
