Class Instruction
The Reference staff will provide library instruction at the Loyola / Notre Dame Library or at off-campus locations. Staff will customize a class to meet your needs. Please fill out the Class Instruction form or call the Reference desk at 410-617-6802.

Interlibrary Loan Requests
Materials not owned by the library can be obtained through interlibrary loan (ILL). ILL books can be checked out while photocopies of articles may be kept. An interlibrary loan request usually takes about 2 weeks to process.

Media Services

GROUP-ROOM SPACE: Media and equipment may be used in 309 in the library located on the third floor and seats 45. Reservations for room 309 and equipment should be made as far in advance as possible to guarantee use of the facilities.

The Library provides media previews (for possible purchase), campus cable, and off-satellite broadcasts (for taping and/or live viewing) upon request. For more information on media services please see: http:///mediadocs.htm
