Interlibrary Loans

The Jonathan Trumbull Library is pleased to offer interlibrary loan service.  If you would like to borrow materials not owned by the library, you may call the library (642-7763) to ask for assistance or you may request them yourself.  By searching the statewide library catalog (on the iCONN website) you can find the book you want anywhere in Connecticut.  You can also see which libraries own your item of interest and  visit that library to borrow it in person. You will need your Jonathan Trumbull Library Card.  Please note there is a limit of five(5) active interlibrary loan requests per family at any one time.

TO REQUEST AN INTERLIBRARY LOAN:

·Go to iCONN's home page: www.iconn.org

·Enter your 14-digit library card barcode number (no spaces) and click on "Search reQuest - the Statewide Library Catalog." 

·Enter search term in box (title, author, subject, etc.) and click on "Search."  You may also choose "Advanced Search" to be more specific (and get less "hits" to wade through.)    For example, in Advanced Search, type in the title you are looking for and change "All Headings" to "Title".  On the next line, put in the author's name and change "All Headings" to "Author/Creator".  You may also use "Advanced Search" to narrow your search to audiobooks or large print, etc., by choosing to limit results by "Material Type."  When using Advanced Search, it is a good idea to "Clear Checkmarks" so your search results do not include all of iConn's resources. 

· After a keyword search, you will see "reQuest Main Catalog" in the column on the left.  Click on the number next to "reQuest Main Catalog" which is your number of "hits."

· Choose desired item from Title List.  The number in parentheses after the title represents how many libraries own the item.  If there are two listings for your item, choose the one with more libraries.

· Choose the "Request This Item" box in top right corner of the Item Display.

· Fill in the ILL Request Form.  You need only fill in your name, password, and phone number.  The password is for your own use in tracking your requests.  Click on the Submit button (top menu bar) to initiate request.
