Interlibrary Loan Instructions

The Library Learning Center provides interlibrary loan (ILL) services to all KWC students, faculty and staff. Books and other items borrowed from libraries within the state of Kentucky are usually delivered by weekly courier. Out-of-state items come via UPS or USPS. Copies of journal articles are delivered electronically, via courier, or via USPS. Although an item may arrive sooner, allow a ten-day delivery period. If you have questions about the status of a request, contact Rhonda Sartain (rsartain@kwc.edu or 270-852-3258).

Items borrowed through ILL may usually be renewed. Please request a renewal BEFORE the due date.

If you are not currently affiliated with the college, please check with your home library about borrowing materials through interlibrary loan.
