Students may request materials that the Hendrickson Library does not own by filling out an Interlibrary Loan request form. This form is found on the library website or from within a database search. Most requests are filled within 2-3 days; however, it is advisable to allow 1 week. Articles will be emailed to a student’s Bellin College email. Other items interlibrary loaned, like books, will need to be picked up in the library. Checkout periods are set by the lending library.
