UMBC Interlibrary Loan Service

The Interlibrary Loan Service allows patrons to request materials needed for their research that are not owned by UMBC. For faculty who need materials for their courses, please submit your request through course reserves instead.

Although Interlibrary Loan gives you access to many more resources, it may take longer than other means of access. The average delivery time is 5-10 business days. Always start your research early for the best results. You may want to contact the Reference Desk for assistance in locating other in-house or online materials.


To place a request, log in to ILLiad below using your UMBC username and password.

First-time ILLiad users will need to register and select their campus status before they can place a request.
