Interlibrary Loan
The University Library Interlibrary Loan (ILL) program gives you access to resources from any participating library worldwide. Libraries share their materials to serve their patrons. While most ILL requests are free, some items may incur additional charges. If there are extra costs, CSU Pueblo will contact you first before requesting the item.
Everyone affiliated with CSU Pueblo has access to ILL, including faculty, staff, graduate students, undergraduates, and University Library ID (LID) card holders. Through ILL, patrons can place requests for books, journal articles, chapters, media, and some entertainment or hobby items.
For more information about all aspects of ILL including borrowing periods and associated costs, please read our Interlibrary Loan Policy.
