Interlibrary Loan Services & Document Delivery
Interlibrary Loan Services
If a book or a journal article not available at the Wahlstrom Library is needed, an
interlibrary loan (ILL) request for books to be borrowed or articles to be copied from
another library may be filled out at the Reference Desk or by downloading the
interlibrary loan request form found on this page.
Before requesting material on ILL, please verify that it is not owned by UB. Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services are available to currently enrolled students, faculty and staff for course-related or other research purposes. We cannot ask for current textbooks or recreational reading and there are some borrowing limits. Obtaining material via ILL can take from 10 to 14 working days, but there is no charge for this service. For more information, please call the Reference Desk at 203-576-4747/4748.
To renew materials that were received by interlibrary loan, please download and fill out the interlibrary loan renewal form found on this page. We will attempt to renew the item and contact you with the new due date. Items that are overdue will not be renewed.
Please submit the forms to the Interlibrary Loan Technician,

Direct Delivery of Documents
Fee-based document delivery is available through services such as, INGENTA. Prices vary from $10 to $25, but articles will
be quickly faxed or mailed within 24 hours.
INGENTA is a database of current article information from over 18,000 multidisciplinary journals. More than likely, the periodical you need is among those indexed; you can check in the complete Title List, or in one of the Subject Lists. INGENTA contains brief descriptive information for over 8,800,000 articles, dating back to Fall 1988. There is no fee to search the article titles and summaries by keywords; UB faculty and students may then order needed articles at no charge through the Wahlstrom Library Interlibrary Loan/Document Delivery Service. You may also use your credit card to purchase a copy direct from INGENTA.
