Interlibrary Loans

Libraries

Current students, faculty and staff can request an item that Lakeland College Library doesn't have in our collection. Examples of items that can be requested include:

  • physical books
  • copy of a book chapter
  • copy of a peer-reviewed journal article

If you have a question about what can be requested or how to place a request, please email Ben at library@lakelandcollege.ca. 

How to request an Interlibrary Loan

There are two options for placing an interlibrary loan request:

Step 1: Go to the Library Search tool and choose Advanced Search.

Step 2: Choose the search mode Beyond My Library.

Step 3: Choose from these Search Filters based on what you know about the item.

  • Rather than "Any field", choose Title or Author/Creator
  • Enter the title or author's name
  • Material Type: Choose the type of resource from the menu

Click on Search.

Step 4: Sign in to see the complete results and to request items.

  • Sign in using your Lakeland College email account and password
  • When you want to request an item, click on "Get it for me from other libraries"

Step 5: Finalize your selection by clicking on the "GET IT" option that appears on the screen.

  • To request a physical book, confirm your pickup location (Vermilion or Lloydminster). Click "SEND".
  • To request a chapter of a book, confirm your email address and enter either the chapter title or page range you need. Then agree to the copyright acknowledgement.
  • For articles, specify your preferred email address and agree to the copyright acknowledgement. Click "SEND".

Please note that this option may result in a slower response as your submitted information needs to be verified by a library staff member before it can be sent to a partner library.

Step 1: Go to the blank Interlibrary Loan Request form. Sign in using your Lakeland College email address and password.

Step 2: Select the type of resource you're requesting. Options are:

  • Book
  • Article
  • Book chapter (select book and click "I only need a specific chapter or page")

Step 3: Enter the required information for the resource. Please enter any additional publication details that you know.

  • Book (the author and title are required)
  • Article (the article title and journal/publication title are required)
  • Book chapter (author, title and pages are required)

For each type of request, you will need to agree to the copyright acknowledgement.

Note: The availability of materials depends on which libraries allow interlibrary loans for their items.
