A skill for accessing research papers and books through interlibrary loan (ILL) and document delivery services when your institution does not have a subscription. Covers ILL workflows, alternative free access methods, and strategies for rapid document retrieval.

Interlibrary loan is a service where your library borrows materials from another library on your behalf. Most academic libraries offer ILL free of charge to their students, faculty, and staff. Turnaround time is typically 1-7 business days for articles and 1-3 weeks for books.
