What is Interlibrary Services (ILS)?
Baylor’s interlibrary loan service provides temporary access to materials beyond those held in the Baylor Libraries.
What is OsoFast?
OsoFast is Baylor's interlibrary loan management system. Baylor students, faculty, and staff only need to have a valid Bear ID and password to access OsoFast. Distance education students now only need to use a single interface to request the information sources they need, including items owned by the Baylor Libraries.
