Have you ever needed a book that your library does not have? LA Law Library offers Inter-Library Loan (ILL) services to expand collections and increase access to legal research materials.
Whether you are in California or other parts of the country, LA Law Library’s outstanding collection is available to you by making an Inter-Library Loan request through your local law library. Once a request is received, we will forward the requested materials to your local law library. In addition to any fees from your local library, LA Law Library will charge a processing fee of $10 per item, as well as the cost of shipping the materials. To request materials through Inter-Library Loan, contact the Inter-Library Loan department at a law library near you.
Additionally, while LA Law Library has an extensive collection of materials, there may be publications that have not been added to our collection. If you identify a title that is not part of LA Law Library’s collection, LA Law Library can locate and request materials from other libraries as well, subject to any usage restrictions by the loaning institution. If you would like to request materials to be delivered to LA Law Library, please contact our Document Delivery department at 213-785-2529, option 4. In addition to any fees incurred from the loaning institution, LA Law Library will charge a processing fee of $10 per item, as well as any shipping costs incurred.
