How It Works Verbatim from Alibris website
  • Create an OCLC ILL workform with verified or
    unverified bibliographic data
  • Search WorldCat to see if Alibris holds the
    title
  • Add the Alibris OCLC symbol ALBRS in your
    lending string or place us in your Custom
    Holdings
  • Set your IFM maxcost
  • Millions of titles available from Alibris dont
    have their holdings attached in OCLC

  • Alibris will fill the order with the
    lowest-priced copy available in the best
    condition.
  • We will make a conditional reply for items that
    exceed your maxcost.
  • Items are usually shipped within two business
    days (via our expedited shipping methods) and
    delivered in seven to ten business days to the
    ILL office, or another address as stipulated.
  • The packing slip will include the ILL number.
