CTS faculty, students and staff may make requests for books and photocopies of articles not owned by the Library through interlibrary loan (ILL). The request forms are online in the EBSCOhost and WorldCat databases. Click on the ILL links to submit an article or book request.
In addition, paper ILL request forms are available at the reference desk. A separate form must be completed for each requested item. All patron and bibliographical information must be provided and the form signed, then returned to the librarian on duty at the reference desk. Assistance in completing the form is available at the reference desk.
ILL requests are placed through the OCLC-ILL system and can take 2-4 weeks to be filled, depending on the lending library. For photocopies of articles, the lending library determines the cost of copying and that cost is passed on to the patron. For materials to be returned to the lending library, the due date, as well as late fees are determined by that library and are passed on to the patron. The Library is prohibited by copyright law from placing more than five requests for articles from any one periodical title in a five-year period. Patrons are required to comply with all copyright laws.
