Information Delivery & Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Submit an Information Delivery or Interlibrary Loan request

Information Delivery

Students, faculty, and staff outside of Hall County can receive materials owned by the Trustee Library by mail (for books) or by email (for articles).

Patrons are responsible for returning materials at their own expense using a mail carrier that provides tracking. Once an item is 4 weeks overdue, it will be considered lost. If an item is lost and a tracking number was not acquired, the patron is responsible for the replacement and processing costs of the item, as determined by the lending library.

Articles may be copied or scanned for personal use only.

Use our online form to submit your request to Information Delivery.

For more information, contact infodelivery@brenau.edu.
