This guide describes the interlibrary loan services of NIU's library.

Document Delivery

Document Delivery is a "scan and deliver" service provided for Faculty, Staff, Retired Faculty/Staff, Branch, and LRC students. If you need an article from a hard copy of a journal NIU Libraries owns, we can copy it and send it to you electronically. This service is free.

Document Delivery services are provided within 4 business days from the time your request is received. 

*Please note that all ILL notifications are sent to official NIU email accounts only.

Problems?  Questions?  Call Patrick Sanchez at (815) 753-3039, or email psanchez@niu.edu

Microcards

The Interlibrary Loan office has the only microcard reader / printer in the library. If you need a microcard print, please submit a Microcard request via NIUILLiad. This is the only type of material that the IDS office will make a copy of for all users, on- and off-campus, regardless of patron status.

Please call Patrick Sanchez at 815-753-3039 with any questions or email pksanchez@niu.edu
