Interlibrary Loan Services: Intro

Purpose: As defined by the Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States, "The purpose of interlibrary loan as defined by this code is to obtain, upon request of a library user, material not available in the user's local library."

What is InterLibrary Loan (ILL)? Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a borrowing service provided to ACHE students, faculty, staff, and residents. Alumni have a limited period of access to the library. This free service allows you to electronically request and receive articles, book chapters, reports, or other resources not available in the Taylor Health Sciences Library (THSL) collection. We request print items from another library and have them sent here for the you. We can borrow books, some eBooks, and other items and receive photocopies of articles and documents. 

What is CLIO?

July 2024, we implemented a new interlibrary loan software named CLIO. It is a web-based interlibrary loan software developed to improve the interlibrary loan service at ACHE. Click here to create your account if you have not already done so.
