Interlibrary Loan obtains materials or copies of materials that are not available at UC Davis from other libraries within the UC system or from libraries throughout the world. Interlibrary loan is available to UC faculty, staff, and students. Undergraduates and non-research staff may be required to pay charges for items not owned by UC or affiliated libraries. There are significant costs associated with an interlibrary loan. The ILL service supports university research, teaching, coursework, and patient care for UC Davis faculty, staff, and students. Requests for recreational materials should be placed through your public library.
