Advanced Interlibrary Loan Request
Patrons, please note: This form is used to request books not in the collections
of member libraries of the Southern Tier Library System (STLS). Before
filling out this form, use StarCat, the system-wide automated catalog to search
for the item you need. Use the "CATALOG" link at the top of any Web page on this
site. If you find the item you need in StarCat, place a "HOLD." We will contact
you when it is ready to pick up.
If the item is not listed in StarCat, perform a wider search using the WorldCat
search box in the right-hand column of any Web page on this site. Use WorldCat
to gather the information required to complete your Advanced Interlibrary Loan
Request.
A Reference Department staff member or ILL specialist will be happy to assist
you in this process.
