Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service available
to MCC faculty, staff and students. By obtaining library materials not
available at Monroe Community College, ILL is able to assist in supporting
research and study. Typically, the following materials are obtained through
ILL: books and microforms are borrowed and journal article reproductions
are sent.
** Students are encouraged to exhaust all
available resources through MCC's Libraries before requesting material
through ILL. **
