Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service available to current Long Beach City College students, faculty, and staff. If the book or article you need for your academic research is not held in the Long Beach City College Library, Interlibrary Loan (ILL) can try to obtain it for you from other libraries, both in this country and abroad.  This service is not available for guest card holders, research affiliates, Friends of the Library, LBCC Alumni, or mutual-use cardholders.

Please visit Interlibrary Loan (ILL) for more information about this service, or stop by the Reference Desk.  

In support of the academic programs and research at Long Beach City College, the College Library normally requests materials from the free lender libraries or reciprocal libraries. If materials have charges or fees, it is the responsibility of the borrower or requestor to pay the charges imposed by the lending libraries for loans or photocopies.

Materials not available through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) include required textbooks, recreational reading, recently published books, computer software, rare books, original manuscripts, special collections, entire volumes or issues of periodicals, and some dissertations and theses.
