Interlibrary Loan Information for Other Libraries

Kent State University Libraries lends materials to other libraries all over the world. Our fee schedule is as follows:  

• $15 per loan or copy for academic, public, research, museum, or non-profit libraries  
• $25 per loan or copy for for-profit institutions 

Reciprocal agreements are considered for similar size and type libraries. Kent State currently accepts requests through the OCLC ILL subsystem (symbol KSU), ILLiad, email, fax, or ALA/IFLA forms. We encourage other libraries who do not use OCLC to submit their requests via ILLiad using the login box below. If your library does not have an account, you may create one by clicking on the first time user from another library link.

Our loan period is six weeks; renewals are frequently available upon request. We loan microforms held in on-site or remote storage, and we can provide ERIC microfiche. We lend or digitize our dissertations and theses upon request. Sorry, but we are unable to lend most audiovisual materials. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, our access to some collections may be limited. We plan to resume book loans to other libraries by early October 2020 but this service will be limited and requests may be delayed.
