Hekman Library provides Interlibrary loan (ILL) services at no cost for students, faculty, and staff of the university and the seminary. At times lending libraries may have a charge to borrow items and significant staff time is expended to facilitate this access. Hekman staff try and limit these situations and will communicate with users when this occurs. Guests and alumni may make limited requests for interlibrary loans, but some restrictions and costs may apply (e.g., alumni are allowed to request up to five per year).
