Interlibrary Loan

Borrowing Materials from Other Libraries

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service is available to Gonzaga University School of Law faculty, adjunct faculty, staff, and students. All other Gonzaga University users are encouraged to contact the Interlibrary Loan service of the Foley Library. Attorneys and members of the public are encouraged to contact their local public library for assistance.

Gonzaga University School of Law members may request an ILL for materials not owned by Chastek Library and not accessible through the Foley Center or our online resources. Here are the steps to follow:

• Search Chester, our online catalog, (which also contains records for Foley's collection), to see if the item is available on campus.

• Depending on whether you're looking for a legal or non-legal source, search our E-Journal Portal, which will locate journals in HeinOnline, Lexis, Westlaw, etc., or Foley Center's E-Journal Portal which will search non-law databases. Lexis and Westlaw also contain treatises, in addition to periodicals.

• If you still can't find what you're looking for, search WorldCat, a database that contains records for libraries worldwide. WorldCat provides full bibliographic information, which you will need to submit an interlibrary loan request.

• Request an interlibrary loan using one of these methods:
  • Make a direct request from WorldCat by clicking on the ILL icon and filling out the form, or
  • Call or e-mail Carolyn Hood (313-3755) with the full bibliographic information, or
  • Complete an ILL form at the ILL Office.
