Interlibrary Loan

ILL Borrowing and Document Delivery

The Golden Library is a member of a national network of libraries that borrows and lends material as a mutual courtesy. All circulating interlibrary loan material, as well as library material, must be returned to library by due date. The library has no control over the availability of material, nor the lending terms and renewal policies set by lending libraries.

• Portales campus students, staff and guests pick up items at the Circulation Desk
• Items requested by Portales campus distance learning students and off-campus faculty will be sent directly to homes (please include desired mailing address in the notes field)
• Items requested by Portales campus faculty will be delivered to faculty offices
• Articles are electronically delivered to ENMU email accounts
• Interlibrary loan requests for textbooks may not be filled, students should not count on interlibrary loan requests for required material.
