interlibrary loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a worldwide cooperative agreement among public,
private, and academic libraries that affords library users the means to
borrow materials not available locally. This service is offered to
current Northwest Iowa Community College (NCC) students, faculty, staff,
and board members. Textbooks currently used for classes at NCC will not
be requested through ILL.
