Interlibrary Loan Services

Current New Mexico Highlands University faculty, students, alumni, staff and courtesy card holders are able to request and receive research material, books or articles, not available at Donnelly Library, through interlibrary loan. You must be a registered user in good standing to be eligible for this service.

Please Note: We do not interlibrary loan textbooks as few libraries own them, and there is a limited loan period for them.   Newly published books and new feature films may be difficult to obtain, but we will request them.

Distance Ed and Center Faculty, Students and Staff:  Physical Items will take time to obtain and they must go through the mail twice – once to main campus to process, and then to you.  You may also use a Passport Certificate or your local public library’s Interlibrary Loan Service.  Articles are sent electronically.

For assistance, please contact:  505.454.3481 or libraryloan@nmhu.edu

Before you place a request, please check the library’s online catalog and Journal Finder List.
