Interlibrary Loan Services

Interlibrary Loan Services support research and teaching activities of the City University of Hong Kong community by obtaining literature not available at the Run Run Shaw Library from other sources. Books may be borrowed and journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, etc. may be photocopied.

Before submitting your Interlibrary Loan requests, however, please check the CityU LibraryFind to make sure that our Library does not hold the items/articles concerned.

All requests should be submitted through ILLiad, our online interlibrary loan system which enables you to:

submit your Interlibrary Loan requests online
track the progress of your requests
edit previously submitted requests
make book renewal requests online
receive articles electronically
