Houff Library Resources and Services: Interlibrary Loan

Welcome to Blue Ridge Community College and the Houff Library. This guide will tell you about the resources and services available to you.

Interlibrary Loan Definition

Interlibrary loan, often abbreviated as ILL, is free a service that enables patrons to borrow materials from other libraries. Physical materials will be mailed to Houff Library for patrons to pick up, while electronic article requests will be sent directly to your BRCC email. 

Book requests generally take 2-7 days to arrive. Article requests usually take 1-3 days to fulfill. It is best to start your research assignments early to get requests processed and materials shipped in time. 

You can submit requests for books and articles not available at our library using this form
