Interlibrary Loan
We have millions of print and online resources but we can't purchase everything. In most cases, we can usually get what you want from another library through our Interlibrary Loan Service. We can also scan, digitize or ship items to you. This free service is available to current students, faculty and staff.

Get A Copy From Another Library
If the library does not have a book or article that you need, we can get a copy from another library. We will email you when the book is ready for pickup at the library information desk or a copy of the article/book chapter is available to download from your account.
Get A Scan of an Article or Book Chapter
We can scan and deliver articles and book chapters from the library's print collection to you for free. We cannot scan the entire book or journal. We will email you when the scan is available to download from your account.
Remote Delivery for Off Campus UsersDistance Learning
Books from the print circulating collection can also be delivered to the home address of current faculty, staff and students. Materials are shipped via USPS and include a return address and a prepaid postage mailer. Eligible students must live outside of the city of Commerce, be enrolled in an online course and not attend a class that meets in Commerce. Faculty and staff who work at one of A&M-Commerce's other locations are also eligible for remote delivery.
