Have you ever found a book or resource you wanted to use for a paper but Zondervan Library did not have it?

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a great tool for students who live near campus and can pick up and drop off books at the Zondervan Library. ILL allows you to request books that Zondervan Library can borrow from other libraries.

The process is outlined below.

1. Sign up for an ILLiad Account
   • Sign up for an ILLiad account.
   • This link can also be found on the Zondervan Library home page under Interlibrary Loan.
2. Search for the Book using WorldCat Research Station
   • Example: Combating poverty : understanding new challenges for families : hearing before the Committee on Finance, United States Senate, One Hundred Twelfth Congress, second session, June 5, 2012.
3. Use the WorldCat location tool to find the Book in another library
   • In the body of the record scroll down to World Cat: find it in libraries globally. To the right is a link: Request item through Interlibrary Loan.
4. Place Your Request
   • Once clicked, the link takes you to your ILLiad account. Log in to ILLiad. The information on this record should automatically fill in the request form. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Submit Request.
