If We Don't Have It

1. Check the Library Catalog

Search the Library Catalog to see if we already have the item. A librarian can also help you check WorldCat or other library catalogs for availability.

2. Request Items Through Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

If we don’t have it, submit an Interlibrary Loan Request. Books are mailed to Reynolds Libraries for pickup and articles are sent directly to your email.

3. Borrow Books from Another Virginia College Library

Through the VIVA Cooperative Borrowing Program, you can visit participating college and university libraries in Virginia and borrow books in person.
