Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Services (ILL) allow AUA students, faculty, and staff to request materials and articles not owned by the AGBU Papazian Library.

How it works?

1
Before submitting a request, check if the item is available in our library’s collection. You can search the catalog directly from the homepage or use our A–Z Databases.
3
If the item isn’t available, fill out the Interlibrary Loan request form below with as much detail as possible (title, author, publication info, etc.). The more accurate your request, the faster we can process it.
2
Once your request is submitted, our team will contact partner libraries and keep you updated. You’ll receive an email when your item is ready or if there are any issues.
4
Most items will be delivered within 3–7 business days. Articles may arrive via email, while physical materials can be picked up at the Circulation Desk.
Who can request?

The ILL service is only available to AUA students, faculty and staff.

Articles

Students, faculty, and staff can request articles and book chapters that the AGBU Papazian Library doesn’t have access to.

Scans

Photocopies of books must be in compliance with the Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S. Code). The law states that the photocopy “is not to be used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.”
