InterLibrary Loans (ILL)
The Interlibrary Loan Service at Hamilton Library will obtain books, articles, chapters, and other materials that are not available within the UH system libraries for UHM patrons for the purpose of supporting UHM academic and university research activities. The ILL section works with libraries and document suppliers across the US and internationally.
Who Can Use ILL
Current UH Mānoa students, faculty, staff, and affiliates are eligible.
Distance Education: ILL service is available for UHM distance education students. Please email libill@hawaii.edu to alert us about your distance status.
Other UH Campus Patrons: Please consult with your home UH campus library.
We cannot provide ILL to alumni or community users. Please request via your local public library. In Hawaiʻi, see the Hawaiʻi State Public Library System ILL service.
How to Request
There are two ways to make an ILL request.
- One: Place an ILL request while searching OneSearch or a library database by clicking on the ILL request, usually labeled as an “ILL” link or a “Find It” button. The citation will auto-fill in the form.
- Two: Use a blank request form to fill out a request and type in the citation.
