Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a borrowing/loaning agreement between libraries. It is based on a tradition of sharing resources between various types and sizes of libraries and the belief that no library, regardless of its size or budget, is completely self-sufficient. ILL requests are generally thought of as those outside of the library’s general network (C/W MARS) or geographical area (Massachusetts), and is used only after those more local resources have been exhausted. ILL service is guided by principles and practices established by the American Library Association, the Massachusetts Library System, and borrowing and lending libraries regardless of location.
