Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a library service that allows users to order book chapters, books, and journal articles not subscribed to by the Radford University Libraries to be delivered to you, either in print or online. It is a subsidized service for RU faculty, staff, and students: the library absorbs the cost of this service to make sure you get the resources you need, often within a few hours or days of your request. 

You can learn more about how to request books or articles the library doesn't own through our InterLibrary Loan guide. The InterLibrary Loan office can be reached at ill@radford.edu and at 540-831-6126.
