Request Articles, Books, and More

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service offered by the MSU Library that can be used to borrow library materials (books, DVDs, etc.) and obtain electronic copies of articles or book chapters not owned by our library. We are part of a worldwide ILL network of libraries that lends to one another.

As a current MSU student, staff, or faculty member, these services are available for you to use, usually at no charge (visit our FAQ section for exceptions).

Request materials from other libraries using Interlibrary Loan (ILL) or request scans of articles or chapters owned by the MSU Library.
