Interlibrary Loan and Delivery

Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a process where all of the Nicolet member libraries and the OWLS libraries borrow and lend to each other but the lending and borrowing includes all of the Wisconsin libraries, some school libraries, and the tribal libraries. There is an agreement with Minitex where we can borrow and lend from the North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota libraries also. Ask your library staff to create an Interlibrary Loan request if they cannot find the item that you are looking for at your home library or within the Nicolet/OWLS system.
