ILLin’ Comments
“Interlibrary loan expands student horizons and extends the curriculum.”
High School English Teacher
“For my students, interlibrary loan is like opening the front door of every library for them to enter and explore.” Social Studies Teacher
“You guys are awesomely helpful!” Math Teacher
Teacher Comments
“Using interlibrary loan has allowed me to adapt the curriculum to my students’ interests and needs and to pilot books without financial risk. It also allows students to find actual books that address their research topics; students are often surprised that such resources exist and that they are more useful than databases and Google searches. You can take that to the bank.”
