Question

Q: How do I request a book from another university?

Answer

If you need a book or other material that the KSU Libraries does not own, you have two options for requesting it: GIL Express or Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Both ILL and GIL Express are free for KSU students, faculty and staff! 
 

-Interlibrary Loan (ILL) allows KSU faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students to place requests for library materials, including books, articles, and some digital media. The ILL team partners with libraries across the country to borrow the requested material. You may not request textbooks through ILL. Textbook requests will be canceled. For more information about ILL, visit the research guide.  

-GIL Express allows KSU faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students to request books from libraries across the University System of Georgia (USG). GIL Express may only be used for books. For more information about GIL Express, visit the research guide.
