Item not held in our partner libraries

There are currently over 500 institutions in our network of partner libraries.  We will search for ILL items in all of these libraries, contacting locations closest to Mac first and then expanding the search outward.  Our partner libraries belong to the following consortiums: MinitexOberlin Group of Libraries, and RapidILL as well as the Center for Research Libraries and Linda Hall Libraries.
