Whether you're looking for a textbook, a course, or any other type of resource, Long Library is here to help! All of these resources and more are available for Wells community members for free.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a free service through which you can request materials, such as books, journal articles, book chapters, videos, and other materials that are not available in the Wells College Library.
When you submit a request, Interlibrary Loan (ILL) staff search the catalogs of libraries across the country to find one that will loan the desired material. Once the material arrives, you will be notified via email, and you can then come to the library's Circulation Desk to pick up your requested items.
Long Library subscribes to a number of databases representing a number of disciplines. The journals and articles within them are free for you to access.
