Interlibrary Loan

If you are looking for an item, and find that is not held by TSU, Interlibrary Loan (ILL) will attempt to find it from free lending libraries off-campus. TSU uses the software called Tipasa to process ILL requests.

• Directions for Logging into your ILL Account to Request Items:

• Go to the TSU Library Home Page: www.tnstate.edu/library
• Click on the Interlibrary Loan link
• Select your campus location. Then, select your user status
• Login with your TSU username and password
• Click Create Request button
• Choose type of item requested (e. g. article, book chapter)
• Fill out request form
• Click Submit Request button. You will then see your personal page to view the status of items requested.

Delivery time: 1-14 days depending on item type (article/chapter scans, books).
