Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service that provides Bangor Theological Seminary students, faculty, and staff with materials that are needed for research, but are not currently available in the library. All ILL requests are submitted through the FirstSearch web site. If you do not yet have instructions on how to submit and ILL request via FirstSearch, please contact the ILL Librarian at lmcquarrie@bts.edu or (207) 942-6781 x138. If you know how to use the ILL request function, please click the button marked "FirstSearch" at the left.

Please note that some libraries charge fees for loans. The usual range, when fees are charged, is $2.00 to $10.00, although they can be much higher in some instances. The person submitting the request is responsible for paying any fees that may be involved and these fees must be paid when the item is first picked up with no exceptions. The ILL Librarian will always try to obtain materials at no charge whenever possible, however. Non-seminary patrons should contact their local library for ILL assistance. Requests by non-seminary patrons will be deleted without explanation or warning.
