What is it?
The Interlibrary Loan Department is committed to obtaining materials not owned by the Ottawa University Gangwish Library and that are needed to support the educational, curricular and research needs of OU students, faculty and staff.
When do I use it?
Once you have searched the Gangwish Library catalog and databases, if you cannot find the materials you are looking for, you may send your request by email to ill@ottawa.edu
Fill out the form at this link to submit your requests.
Who can use it?
All currently enrolled Ottawa University students, faculty, and staff.
How much does it cost?
Usually, nothing! Most lending libraries do not charge, and we try to borrow from them first. However, distance students may have to pay return postage when borrowing books from the Gangwish Library's collection.
How long does it take?
The average turnaround time is 8 working days, often less for articles. Please allow us enough time to process your request & receive the item. You will be notified by email when your items arrive. Books are held at the Circulation Desk. Articles are delivered to your email account.
