Interlibrary Loan
Do you need something Fondren doesn’t have access to? Try interlibrary loan!
What is the Interlibrary Loan?
The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Department supports the research and information needs of Rice Univesity students, faculty, and staff by providing access to material not owned by Fondren Library. Materials are borrowed through an international partnership of libraries. In turn, the ILL Department reciprocates by providing the same services to other participating libraries.
