What is Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a free service, for our current PNW Students (Undergrad & Grad), Faculty, and Staff, that allows us to borrow materials that we do not have in our collection, such as books, copies of journal articles, and book chapters from other libraries throughout the country or worldwide.

Purdue Borrow

What is PurdueBorrow

In addition to requesting books from the Hammond and Westville campus libraries to be shipped to either campus, the PNW Library offers request options for physical materials held at Purdue University West Lafayette and Purdue Fort Wayne in our online catalog, Library Search. You can request these materials and they will be sent to the Hammond or Westville campus via Indiana's statewide library courier. These materials will be available for pickup at the campus library you chose.
