Choose one of the request types to the right to submit your ILL request. Provide as much citation information as possible. You must also provide your name; Library barcode number or MyAccess/Colleage ID; your phone number; and e-mail address.
Interlibrary Loan article requests are only available to COD students, faculty, and staff.
The lending library sets the due date. If you need the book longer, contact the Interlibrary Loan staff at (630) 942-2166 or by e-mail (ill@cod.edu) at least three days before the due date. The patron is responsible for all fees related to overdue, lost or damaged materials, as determined by the lending library.
Certain items may not be requested through Interlibrary Loan:
Pick up your requested item at the main floor Circulation Desk in the COD Library after you have been notified by phone or e-mail of its arrival. When an article that you requested is sent to us in electronic form, we will e-mail it to you.
Interlibrary Loan is a free service offered to anyone who has a current COD Library card. You may apply for a Library card at the Circulation Desk or request a card online.
