Interlibrary Loan (ILL) assists Fairmont State students, faculty, and staff by obtaining books and journal articles not available at our own libraries. This is a free service. The library absorbs the cost of getting these materials. Delivery for electronically processed journal aritcles takes only a day or two. Items shipped by mail can take three to five days.

Before You Make a Request :

  1. Check WorldCat to see that we do not in fact own the book title that you want. Be sure to change the setting from "Libraries Worldwide" to "Fairmont State University Library".

  2. Check our "Journals" link on the library's homepage to see if your journal request is in one or more of our databases. Just key in the journal title.
