Interlibrary Loan Request

InterLibrary Loan (ILL) service offers patrons access to collections beyond what is held in King William, allowing patrons to request items to be sent to KWCLS. ILL services are available to cardholders in good standing.

Patrons are limited to 5 active requests at a time. A separate form must be completed for each item requested.

Some items may not be requested through ILL:

– Items owned by KWCLS

-Newly published materials (materials less than one year old)

-Audio-visual material

-Textbooks

-Books copyrighted or dated prior to 1920

-Entire issues of periodicals

-Rare books or non-book materials

-E-books ore-documents/articles

-Restricted Material

Requests typically take 2 to 6 weeks to be filled but are dependent on the loaning library, availability, and shipping speeds. When your item is available, you will receive an email.

The loan period for ILL items is determined by the lending library. Items may be renewed at the discretion of the lending library. Requests for renewal must be submitted at least 3 working (Monday-Friday) days before the item’s due date.

All ILL items must be returned to the circulation desk.
