Requests / Interlibrary Loan
One can request items from other branches or off-site storage and pick them up at their desired UK Libraries location. To activate the request option, sign in to InfoKat. UK students, faculty, and staff use their linkblue credentials, and community and reciprocal borrowers use credentials issued by UK Libraries. Any Kentucky citizen over 18 may visit a UK Libraries location and request an account.
On the form, you can specify the branch of UK Libraries where you'd like the pick up the item, and also an optional date after which you would no longer need it. You will be notified by email when the item arrives (usually within two business days), and you can check it out at the circulation desk.
Non-circulating materials, Reference, Journals, Scores, and Special Collections materials are not available through Book & Media Express.
If you find a resource in InfoKat Discovery that the library does not have access to, you will have the option to request it through InterLibrary Loan. Click the InterLibrary Loan request link for the campus you are associated with, and fill out the form there to make your request.
