ILL How-To Resources
Visit our ILL how-to resources for answers to commonly asked ILL questions, definitions of OCLC terms, links to tutorials, helpful links to ILL resources both OCLC and non-OCLC, and much more.

How OCLC ILL Works

  1. Verify bibliographic information by searching WorldCat, the OCLC online union catalog.
  2. Find lenders by displaying lists of holding libraries.
  3. Select potential lenders and use an online workform to create a request.
  4. OCLC sends your electronic request to each potential lender, in turn.
  5. OCLC tracks your request and notifies you when a lender fills the request, ships the item, renews the item, and/or receives the item once it is returned to them.

For more about the OCLC WorldCat Resource Sharing service, contact Deb Ehrstein at 800-969-6562, x816.

ILL in Missouri
There are resource sharing groups and agreements (such as MIGI or LVIS) that are available in Missouri.

Show-Me the World Project
If you are a public library participating in the Missouri State Library's Show-Me the World (SMTW) project, these ILL resources will be useful. However, you'll also want to see our page of Show-Me the World online resources.
