Items which are not owned by the library and items which are currently unavailable may be requested through interlibrary loan. There are two methods for requesting materials through interlibrary loan: requesting material through the library catalog & filling out a blank request form. Directions for each option can be found below. If you have questions regarding interlibrary loans, please contact the circulation department at 612-659-6290, email.

Using the Blank Request Form
If you cannot locate an item you would like to request in the library catalog, you can fill out a blank request form. Complete as much information as possible, and in particular, complete every required field (labeled with a ‘*’), including a date for “not needed after”, and the copyright notice checkbox (for articles.) Select the link that best matches your request:
Book, CD, DVD Request Form or Journal Article Request Form.
