How to use LSU Libraries' Interlibrary Loan services

Request a Book

Click the link here to request a book. You will be notified by email when your book arrives and is ready for pickup at the Checkout Desk. Interlibrary loans arrive in about 4-10 business days. To receive a chapter while you wait, logon to your Interlibrary Loan account and select “Request a Book Chapter.” Chapters arrive in PDF format in about 1-2 business days.

E-book requests are accepted, but most whole e-books are unavailable due to publishers’ restrictions. If we are unable to borrow the ebook, we will contact you with more options. Textbook requests are accepted but are not recommended because the item will be due back before the end of the semester.
