Interlibrary Loan, or ILL, is a service where libraries loan items to other libraries on a patron's behalf. When you're unable to locate the full text of a book or item through Armacost Library, you may either work with a librarian to find something comparable or submit an ILL request.
ILL requests may take 1-2 weeks to fulfill, and is available to current University of Redlands students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Armacost Library absorbs all ILL costs so we ask that patrons be selective with their requests.

Is your source a scholarly work? Scholarly articles are research publications written by and for experts. When experts conduct research, they publish their findings in scholarly journals. Before publication, these articles must endure a rigorous editorial process -- they are refereed by fellow experts in what is called a peer-review process. In contrast, popular magazine and newspaper articles are written by journalists for the general public.
