Interlibrary Loan Services
Use Interlibrary Loan Services (ILL) to get books, articles, a dissertation or thesis not owned by East Stroudsburg University Library, or not currently available to us in full text. Through cooperative agreements with other libraries, print and electronic resources across the nation are available to eligible East Stroudsburg University users.
At Kemp Library, ILL services are available to current ESU faculty, staff, and students. Be sure to check the library catalog Primo or the A-Z Databases page before making an ILL loan request, to make sure the library does not already have the item. Ask a librarian for assistance if needed. Please note that ESU does not lend out Ebooks through the Interlibrary Loan System or EZ Borrow Reshare System.
