Edmonds College students, faculty, and staff can request books and articles from other libraries via interlibrary loan (ILL). There is no charge for this service.
Physical books will be sent to Edmonds College Library for you to pick up. Requested articles will be emailed to you.
Textbooks for Edmonds College courses and books already owned by the Edmonds College Library cannot be requested.
Note: It can take up to two weeks for ILL items to arrive, so start your research early!
To ensure requested items are received before quarter breaks, we do not accept ILL requests during the last few weeks of each quarter.

ILL requesting is closed for Spring quarter. Requests will reopen on Monday, July 7.
