Q: There's a book I really want, but the library doesn't have it. What do I do?

We can request books that we personally don't have in our collection through Interlibrary Loan (ILL), a service that allows libraries all over the country to borrow books from one another. 

Unfortunately, we cannot request entire books/eBooks for online/distance students who live outside of driving range of a Nelson library. We can, however, request scans of small portions, like a chapter, that can be emailed to you. 

To request an ILL, you can call or email us with your information and your desired book, or fill out the Interlibrary Loan Request Form.
