Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a borrowing service provided to currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff at National 

University. This free service allows you to electronically request and receive physical books, articles, book chapters, reports, or other

resources when not available in full-text in the NU Library.

Please note that course textbooks may not be requested through the interlibrary loan service.
