Requests for materials that the library doesn't own can be placed through an interlibrary loan (ILL) request. We are able to facilitate physical delivery service requests and digital requests for our library patrons.
Article Requests
Article Requests
Article requests can be placed directly in a database, such as Academic Search Premier, for the easiest and fastest turn-around, usually 3-5 business days.
To fill out a blank request, use this form and select article.
If you request a photocopy, you will receive an email when it is available for you to pick up in the Library. Digital article requests will either be emailed directly to your MCAD email or an email will be sent to you with instructions on how to access a pdf of the article. There may be a set number of times and duration of time you will be able to access your digital ILL article. These limits will be listed in the email you receive.
