Phillips Library: Interlibrary Loan

Students, faculty, and staff at Mount St. Mary's University may use our Interlibrary Loan service to request books and articles from other libraries.  A valid Mount Login ID and password are required. 

Interlibrary Loan requests may be submitted using either of two request forms:

1. imbedded within search results records of WorlcCat Discovery, or
2. the blank form that works independent of WorldCat Discovery; it is useful for submitting incomplete citations or unusual requests. 

If you have questions about the ILL process, contact:

Ana Ulrich 
Interlibrary Loan Office
(301) 447-5430 or (301) 447-5254

Please see the Phillips Library's Interlibrary Loan Borrowing Policy below:

Phillips Library now offers a fee-based article delivery service that includes access to journals outside our own subscriptions.   

Using Copyright Clearance Center‘s Get It Now service, we can purchase articles for MSMU faculty and students and get them very quickly.  

PDFs of articles are sent directly to the requestor via email. Average turnaround time for Get It Now articles is less than five minutes.  

This service can be used by submitting a request on the generic  ILL form.
