InterLibrary Loan – Function
•
Word of Life Bible Institute participates in an InterLibrary Loan (ILL) agreement with other colleges and universities through its membership in the Christian Library Consortium. This increases the Bible Institute’s reach to off-campus resources it would not otherwise have the ability to access. – Method The option to obtain a resource through ILL is tracked through EDS. If the Bible Institute does not hold the resource directly, but it can be sent from another collection, the student will see “Request this item through interlibrary loan” under Access Options for that particular collection record. Students can populate the Loan form. This is sent to the Library Director. – Video Tutorial A video tutorial demonstrating how to request an item through ILL is available under the Library Resources tab in the Student Portal.
