Interlibrary Loan: Request an Article

When a periodical is not owned or available at Drexel Library or Campbell Library, it is usually possible to obtain it from another library or source through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

ILL services are available to current SJU students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Distance Education students please note prerequisites.

What you should know before ordering:

The Library cannot order photocopies from volumes of periodicals that are owned by SJU.

Allow at least 3-5 business days, although articles may come in more quickly. There is no charge for this service.

Students: Articles are delivered in one of two ways:

  • when possible, articles are delivered to your desktop via SJU email (SJU email address ONLY)
  • when electronic delivery is not possible, an email will be sent to the student's SJU email address notifying them when the paper copy of their article is available for pick up at the Francis A. Drexel Library's Service Desk.

Faculty/staff: Articles are delivered in one of two ways:

  • when possible, articles are delivered to your desktop via SJU email (SJU email address ONLY)
  • when electronic delivery is not possible, articles are sent via campus mail to your department mailbox.
