How do I place an ILL request?

There are three ways you can place an ILL request:

1. The Library Catalog

   Search for your book or article in our Library Catalog. The book or article should appear in our catalog even if COD doesn't own it. Click on the book or article title and look for the interlibrary loan request button in the item record:

   

   After you click this button, enter your name, Library barcode number, phone number and (optionally) your e-mail address. Your request will be submitted to the Library.

   Note: When using the Catalog from off-campus, you need to sign-in with your Library barcode number before seeing ILL request buttons. Look for the "Off-campus access" link in the top-left dropdown menu or in the blue box in item records:

   
   

2. Article Databases

   You can place ILL requests for articles your find in Library databases that have no online full-text access.

   For these articles, look for the "Find this!" link:

   

   When you click this link, our link resolver will look to see if we have online access in any of our other databases. In many cases, you can access the article immediately in another database:

   

   If there is no online access in our other databases, click on the "Request This Item" link in the top-right corner:

   

   Provide your name, phone number, Library barcode number, and (optionally) your e-mail address and your ILL request will be placed.

3. ILL Request Forms

   If you can't locate your item in the Library catalog or in an article database, submit your request using one of our ILL request forms.

Who is eligible for this service?

Interlibrary Loan is a free service offered to anyone who has a current COD Library card. You may apply for a Library card at the Circulation Desk.

How long will it take for my request to arrive?

Journal, magazine, or newspaper articles usually take about 5 working days to arrive. Books usually take 10 working days or more. You will be notified by phone or e-mail (your choice) when the item is available.

Where do I pick up my request?

Pick up your ordered item at the Circulation Desk in the COD Library after you have been notified by phone or e-mail of its arrival. When the article that you requested is sent to us in electronic form, we will e-mail it to you.

What items cannot be requested?

Certain items may not be requested through Interlibrary Loan:

• Books published during the current calendar year.
• Non-print materials such as videotapes, recorded music, audiotapes, CDs, etc.
• Whole issues of journals or articles available full-text from COD electronic indexes and databases.

Can I renew an ILL book?

The lending library sets the due date. If you need the book longer, contact the Interlibrary Loan staff at (630) 942-2166 or by e-mail (ill@cod.edu) at least three days before the due date. Once the book is overdue, a renewal cannot be arranged. Overdue fines are 25 cents per day per book. Do not contact the lending library.

Where do I return an ILL book?

Return the book to the Circulation Desk in the COD Library.

Are there any limits to the number of items that I can request?

There are no limits for students, COD faculty, administrators and staff. Community Borrowers may only request/have 10 items per semester.

Do I have to return articles or book chapters?

Photocopies of articles or chapters do not need to be returned. They are yours to keep.

May I order a book that you have in the Library but is checked out or missing?

Yes.

Where can I learn more about ILL?

Libraries in the state of Illinois agree to a shared ILLINET Interlibrary Loan Code that is formalized as part of the Illinois Administrative Code (IAC).

Reference Books

Why Reference Sources?

Is your research topic too big to cover in a short paper?  Is your topic so specific that sources will be hard to find?

Before you even begin your research, start the process with reference sources-- in the Library's Reference Section or online in our databases.  Reference books, like subject encyclopedias, can give you a head start and make your research easier in the long run.  Use reference sources to:

• find a topic
• narrow your topic
• find keywords
• get background information on your topic

“It is important for all of us to see ourselves in books.”
– Dr. Jerrie Cobb Scott, founder of the African American Read-In

The National African American Read-In is the nation’s first and oldest event dedicated to diversity in literature. A national literacy initiative of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), the event is sponsored on campus by the College of DuPage Library.

For the last 28 years, more than a million readers from across the United States have gathered together to read the works of African American authors during AARI celebrations held in February – the COD event will feature volunteer readers from across the campus community presenting their favorite selections from African American books, essays and poetry collections, as well as brief biological sketches of the authors.
