Q. How do I borrow books from other libraries?

The University Libraries' participate in a reciprocal borrowing agreement with the Memphis Area Library Council (MALC). This agreement allows students, faculty, and staff to borrow books from many local libraries. Information about reciprocal borrowing privileges and participating libraries can be found on our Borrowing from Local Libraries webpage.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) can be used to borrow books, book chapters, DVDs, and articles from libraries around the world. You must be a current UofM student, staff, or faculty to use ILL. To learn how to use Interlibrary Loan, watch the video below:
