Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary loan is for:

• Books, dissertations, and microforms not available at the Mardigian Library, the University Libraries in Ann Arbor, or through the Michigan Electronic Library (MeLCat).
• Copies of periodical articles or a single book chapter.

The Mardigian Library has partnered with MLibrary Document Delivery (MLDD) in Ann Arbor to provide interlibrary loan service to the University of Michigan-Dearborn. MLDD also serves the University Libraries in Ann Arbor and the Thompson Library at UM-Flint. 

Login to ILLiad

Check the Library Catalog (books) or Summon (books, journals, e-resources) to make sure the Mardigian Library does not own the material before placing your ILLiad request. If the title is available in the Library Catalog you should place a Hold Request for the item.

For assistance with interlibrary loan requests, please contact the MLDD office in Ann Arbor at 734-764-8584 or via email, interlibrary.loan@umich.edu.

Things to remember about interlibrary loan:

• Try MeLCat first for faster delivery of books and A/V items.
• The library cannot hold on to items indefinitely. Please pick up items within 10 days. Unclaimed items will be returned to the owning library.
• Please do not wait until the last minute to order your items.
• Patron information is confidential in compliance with the library's User Privacy Policy.
• All items checked out from University Libraries in Ann Arbor can be returned to the Mardigian Library at the main service desk.
• Please do not return ILL, MeLCat, or Askwith Media items through campus mail.
• If items are lost, you will be charged for replacement of the item, plus a processing fee.
