If you are NOAA staff or a contractor on the Silver Spring campus, the NOAA Library will handle your interlibrary loan (ILL) requests. If you are NOAA staff or contractor outside of Silver Spring, you can get ILL through your local NOAA library. If you aren't served by another library, the NOAA Library will do ILL for you.
You can submit ILL requests in one of two ways: email interlibrary.loan@noaa.gov or fill out our online form.
We ask that your request include the most complete citation information you can find for the item wanted, plus your name, contact information, and NOAA line office. If you need the item by a certain date, please include that as well.
