Interlibrary loan is a service through which library materials not owned by Penn State Altoona may be requested and obtained from other libraries for use by currently registered Penn State Undergraduates, Faculty, and Staff. How do I request an item through Interlibrary Loan? In order to use Interlibrary Loan services, patrons must register with the libraries managment system, ILLiad(Interlibrary Loan Internet Accessible Database). This is a one time only registration.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction.

MediaTech
Media Tech is a division of the university libraries established to provide instructional media (videos, film reels, audiocassettes, digital video discs (DVD), slide sets, etc.)
Use of the media collection is provided at no cost to faculty, staff, and students of Penn State.
Please use the MediaTech search to search and place requests for media materials. University Park will send an email confirmation to the patron once the request has been filled. The confirmation will have a client number for the patron to use each time a media tech request is placed. The items will be sent to the designated location. For items sent to Penn State Altoona, library staff will notify patrons via email upon arrival. The pickup location is at the library circulation desk (second floor). Patrons are to return items to the library. Staff will then return them to University Park.
