Interlibrary Loan

UND students, faculty, and staff may use ILL to borrow books, journal articles, or other materials from thousands of other libraries.

Articles, books, media, book chapters, etc. may be requested from another library.

However, there are some restrictions on what we will request. If the Law Library already owns an item, we will not request it through ILL unless our copy is lost or unavailable.

Note: The library can not request textbooks or e-books.

Contact 701-777-3482 or Jane Oakland if you have questions about materials.

It usually takes 3-5 days for an ILL request to arrive at the Law Library.

We will try to find the requested item from a source that does not charge. If such a source is not available, you may be asked to pay the difference for any charges exceeding $25.00. Charges may include copyright fees. This happens infrequently. When it does,

• we will ask your permission before filling the request, and
• the cost may need to be prepaid before we request the item.

Because the costs incurred in the ILL process are significant, it is important that the requested materials be needed and used.The borrower's university account may be charged $10 for each requested item not picked up within 30 days of receipt or before its due date.

To cancel a request, contact 701-777-3482 or Jane Oakland.

You can pick up items at the Law Library Front Desk. Bring your UND ID card to check out the item. Journal articles will be emailed to your UND account.

An ILL renewal may be requested once only. Granting of renewal and length of renewal is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of the lending library. If denied, the item needs to be returned by its due date.

Request renewals one week before the due date. To request a renewal of your ILL item call contact 701-777-2204 or Jane Oakland.
