Inter-Library Loan Service (ILL)

  • The Learning Commons have established an Inter-Library Loan (ILL) service with five academic libraries.
  • This service allows you to request book chapters, journal articles and conference proceedings papers that are not available in THEi Learning Commons or VTC Libraries but are available from other academic libraries in Hong Kong.
  • All THEi staff and students are eligible to use this service.
  • Before you submit your request, please check the VTC Library Services first as we do not process the request held at VTC Libraries.
  • When you find the material in the other libraries’ catalogues, you may fill out the Request Form and then submit it.
  • If the request is successful, an e-copy of the articles will be sent to you by email.
