If a book or periodical (article)
is not available through our library, we will try to get the material
for you from another library. There is no charge for interlibrary
loan for Ivy Tech students, faculty or staff (in most cases--but
you will be notified beforehand if a fee is required). The Library
reserves the right to limit the number of items patrons may request
(and we cannot honor requests for textbooks).
Books
First, check IvyCat to see if the book you want
is owned by another Ivy Tech campus library (we can get them
faster). If
the book is available at an Ivy Tech library, use
this online form (preferred), or fill out and print one for your campus,
which you can give library staff: Anderson, Marion, Muncie. (Faculty
may request videorecordings, which are loaned on a limited basis.)
If the book you want is not owned by an Ivy Tech library, we can still usually
get it, though it may take a little longer (about 2 weeks). Try looking
in WorldCat (Choose your campus location: Anderson; Marion; Muncie)--you
don't need to find a book in a specific library -- just find a book you are interested
in.
When using WorldCat, look for a link called: "Ivy Tech Anderson-Marion-Muncie:
Click here to borrow this item from another library (Interlibrary Loan)" and
fill out your request online. [The chances of getting your request are improved
if many libraries own it -- so if you see numbers under 100, we may not be able
to get it for you.] If
you
have
some
(perhaps
incomplete)
information
about a book you need, and would like
us to look for you, use
this online form (preferred), or fill out and print the following form, which
can be
given to library staff: ILL Book/Item
Request.
Articles
If you need an article that is not available in
one of our online subscription periodical databases (ask for
help if needed, to determine this), use
this online form (preferred), or fill in and print
the following form, which can be given to library staff: ILL
article Request.

Remember:
- You can usually only borrow one, or at the most two, items
at a time; exceptions are made for articles.
- You will need a library card. If you don't have one already, instructors
can use this form and submit it online, or print it and take
it to the library. Students should bring photo ID to the library
and
can
get a library card in a matter of minutes.
- If you are in the library and need help with any part of this
process, please ask a library staff person for help.
- When requests arrive, books are usually checked out for 4 weeks--pick
them up promptly, and please have them back in time! (Articles are
usually photocopies and do not need to be returned.)
- If you have any questions, please contact Sharon at 765-289-2291,
Ext. 1450, or by email sgriffit@ivytech.edu.
