Guide for Faculty & Staff: Interlibrary Loan

Here's the place to start learning about how the College Library can help you and your students.

Bethel College Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary loan is available to all students, faculty, and staff at Bethel College and to community patrons as a means of obtaining books or articles not currently available in the Bethel College Library collection. All users must have a library account in good standing to utilize interlibrary loan services.

Visit the Bethel College Library Interlibrary Loan website for more information about interlibrary loan.

Interlibrary loan requests can be submitted through EBSCOhost, WorldCat FirstSearch, the Kansas Library Catalog, or by using the following forms:

How to request items through EBSCOhost

If an EBSCOhost search result includes a link to HTML Full Text or PDF Full Text, click that link for immediate access to the article.  If a search result does not include a Full Text link, click Request this item through interlibrary loan to submit a request to receive the article through interlibrary loan.

Articles requested through interlibrary loan are delivered by e-mail. Many articles arrive within a few days, though some can take longer depending on the availability of the material. If you have questions regarding your request, please e-mail interlib@bethelks.edu.
