Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service which helps patrons obtain materials that are not available at the FIT Library.  All patrons must have a current FIT ID card and a current FIT email account to use this service.

Materials owned by FIT Library—specifically, reserve items—cannot be ordered through ILL.
