Interlibrary Loan

When the students, faculty and staff of IUPUC and Ivy Tech require materials beyond what we have to offer locally, the Library/CTL can provide access to these items through a variety of methods. The method by which items are requested varies based on the patron's institutional affiliation and the type of item being requested.

The Library/CTL is not able to provide interlibrary loan service for persons who are not currently enrolled students, staff or faculty members of IUPUC or Ivy Tech. Indiana residents should contact their local public library for such assistance.

• Log in to IUCAT using your Network ID and password.
• When you find a title that is owned by another library that you would like to check out, click on the Request Delivery link located on the right side of the screen.
