- INTRASYSTEM LOAN (ISL) - Requesting Articles From Another UH Library
Intrasystem Loan (ISL) is a service for HCC students, faculty, and staff to request articles from other UH System libraries. Please see a reference librarian, who will assist you in selecting and requesting journal or magazine articles. The ISL form requires your UH ID number and contact information. Be advised that not all materials may be requested. Each library determines what it will provide.
- Articles are usually transmitted electronically between libraries, which may take 1-3 days.
- Articles of less than 50 pages are free. For articles over 50 pages, there is a $3.00 charge.
- HCC library staff will contact you by phone or e-mail when your documents are ready for pick up, so make sure your contact information is up-to-date when requesting materials.
