During the library renovation, some of our journals will be placed in storage. Many of the journals can be accessed electronically, but if you need a journal article that isn't available online and we've put the journal in storage, the normal processing fees will be waived. The fees for materials the Library does not own will remain in effect:

IntraSystem Loan (ISL) allows students, faculty, and staff to request books or journal articles from other libraries within the UH system.

  • Undergraduate students are charged $1.00 per item for journal articles.
  • Beginning July 1, 2008, undergraduate students will be charged $1.00 per book.
    (Manoa charges Mookini Library at least $3 for every ISL book, so the library is still paying at least 2/3 of the bill.)
  • Undergraduate and Graduate students are charged $3.00 per item for audiovisual materials (CDs, videos, DVDs, etc.) and for microforms.
  • Audiovisual materials from Sinclair must be requested at least two weeks prior to the date needed.
  • You will be notified in approximately 15 days; some items may not be available at all due to the October 2004 flood damage at UH Manoa.
  • To request an ISL, please review the steps at Intrasystem Loan Request Instructions before going online to the Hawai'i Voyager.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) allows faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students who are enrolled in 300 level and above, Honors, or Senior Thesis courses to request materials not available at any of the libraries in the UH System. Journal articles are $3.00 each for undergraduates. There is currently no charge for books, however, this will change beginning July 1, 2008, when books will also cost $3.00 for undergraduates.

  • Allow at least three to five weeks for a notification.
  • Audiovisual materials and microforms are not available.
  • You may request an ILL online or submit request forms to the Reference or Circulation Desks.
