What is Interlibrary Loan?

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is the loaning of items between libraries. ILL allows you to request books or articles that you can't find in the Benedictine University Library collection. We can almost always get you what you need at no cost to you.

General Information

  • Check the Benedictine University Library catalog to see if we own the item you need.
  • If we don't own the item, request books and DVDs from other Illinois libraries via I-Share or request articles via ILLiad
  • Approved borrowers include:
    • Current Benedictine students
    • Benedictine faculty and staff
    • Monks of St. Procopius Abbey
    • Sisters of Sacred Heart Convent
  • Requests are filled as quickly as possible. Items are subject to availability.
  • Email notification when the requested item is available.
  • If your request hasn't been filled within 10 days, contact the Interlibrary Loan Department.
  • Use your BenCard to check out eligible materials in person at any I-Share institution.
