Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service to obtain library materials that are not owned by Hunter Library or available from our network libraries at UNC-Asheville and Appalachian State through ABC Express. If you need a book, journal article, or other document for university-related purposes, give us the citation and we will locate and obtain it for you.

We are having some technical difficulties with Interlibrary Loan requests. We are processing requests, but we apologize for what may be a bit of a delay. Please contact the Interlibrary Loan office if you have questions.
