Online Interlibrary Loan / Document Delivery Services
Service is available to all Texas Tech Health El Paso faculty, residents, students, and staff requiring books, photocopies of journal articles, or audiovisuals not available at the library.
Interlibrary Loan and Required Textbooks
If you need a textbook for a class, we do not recommend that you request this book through Interlibrary Loan. ILL staff cannot guarantee when books will arrive, and the loan period may not last for the entire semester. Furthermore, many libraries do not purchase textbooks (or are unwilling to lend textbooks to other libraries); as a result, most ILL requests for textbooks must be canceled.
