Interlibrary Loan (ILL) for CCAD Students, Faculty, & Staff

Can't find an article from our library, OhioLink, or SearchOhio? We can try to get it from another library anywhere in the U.S.

Interlibrary Loan Borrowing Policy

  • Students, staff, and faculty may request copies of documents (primarily journal articles and book chapters) that are not available at CCAD or in one of our electronic databases.
  • Alumni and the general public may not request materials.
  • We do not borrow physical materials from outside the OhioLINK and SearchOhio consortiums .

Placing an ILL request

BEFORE USING ILL

  • Is the article you want available in one of the library's full-text databases? Please check before you place an interlibrary loan.
  • Is the book chapter you want available though our library, OhioLink, or SearchOhio? Please check before you place an interlibrary loan.

PLACE A REQUEST

 
 
Or email library@ccad.edu. with the following information:
  • Your name
  • Your CCAD email address
  • The title of the book/magazine
  • The title of the article/chapter
  • Volume, number, and date (if magazine); date and edition (if book chapter)
  • ISBN or ISSN (if you have it)

TURN AROUND TIME

ILL FEES
We do not charge CCAD faculty, students or staff to use ILL, but lending libraries may charge as much as $20 to send an article. We try to borrow from free lenders when we can, but that is not always possible. Let us know how much you would be willing to pay.
