General Information

The District Library Center provides two types of Interlibrary Loan services to district member libraries.

ILL requests submitted via SHAREit in Access PA: District member libraries manage their own ILL requests through SHAREit in Access PA. The District Library Center may fulfill these ILL requests only as a potential lender within the district member’s lender list in SHAREit/Access PA.

ILL requests submitted via the district form: The District Library Center both manages and fulfills ILL requests submitted by district member libraries.
