Frequently Asked Questions / InterLibrary Loan

How might I obtain materials listed that are not owned by the Library?

You can obtain most titles by creating an account through the interlibrary loan (ILL) link on the Library's home page.

Is there a charge for interlibrary loan services?

Most ILL books are free of charge.  Some journal or other photocopy documents may require a processing fee.

About This Page

There are a number of associations that provide ratings about the sustainability of materials.  Some associations are industry led, others are more independent sources of assessments.  Most do not cover all aspects of social, environmental, and economic sustainbility criteria and so, while they are intended to assist the designer in their analysis of products, they are only one tool. 

It is not the intention of this resource to promote or endorse any one designer or source of information.
