Distance education students and faculty who do not live in Chapel Hill or Carrboro may request delivery of books and scanned copies of articles from UNC-Chapel Hill or other locations. To request materials, you must register for the Interlibrary Loan Borrowing (ILB) Service. Log on with your UNC Onyen and password and complete the first-time user registration form. On the registration form choose DISTANCE EDUCATION as your "Status."
When completing the request form, enter the course number in the Additional Notes field. For example, "Carolina Courses Online: Art31."
Books are mailed to you via the U.S. Postal Service and return postage is included. Photocopies are delivered electronically to your ILB account. Materials requested from other libraries will take longer to obtain, so please be sure to enter the date by which you need the item to allow sufficient time. There is no charge for this document delivery service.
Books will be checked out to your account and must be received by the ILB Office by the due date in order to avoid late fines. Books that have no renewal restrictions may be renewed online through your ILB account. Please renew books two to three days before they are due.
Currently enrolled UNC students and current faculty, who are researching at a distance from Chapel Hill (both nationally and internationally), may request materials from UNC-Chapel Hill.
