Interlibrary Loan
If there is a book or article that we do not have in the library we will get a copy for you through Interlibrary Loan, a free service for all CIA students, staff & faculty.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a free service for all currently enrolled CIA students, faculty and staff.

• Books are borrowed from other libraries and delivered to the CIA Library. It may take approximately 2 weeks for a book to arrive.
• Articles are in digital form (usually pdf) and sent to your email. It may take around 1 week to receive an article.
