MSN Program: Interlibrary Loan

If you find a book through the online catalog that SMSU owns, you can request that we pull it from the shelf and send it to you. Also, if SMSU doesn't own a book or the full-text of an article that you need, we have a wide network of libraries we can ask to borrow it from-- and then pass it along to you. Here are the essential things to know about this service:

• Books will be shipped to your home address. 
• You are responsible for the cost of returning the book to SMSU: we recommend mailing it "media mail." You can also return it to SMSU or any other colleges/universities in the Minnesota State system in person. 
• Electronic versions of articles will be delivered to your SMSU email. 
• In our library system students in our Nursing Program are identified as distance learners, so we know to send books and paper copies of articles to your home-- you don't have to ask. :-)
• The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) office takes care of your requests, so feel free to contact Maria or Conni with questions!
