I haven't done this in a while but formerly one downloaded an ILL form, infilled it, turned it in and waited until the item came in. They've treated them just the same as books.
An interesting side story: In the VA State Library building on Capitol Square, archives and the reading rooms were on opposite sides of the building. There were microfilm printers on both sides. One fine day, I was in the Archives with Tom Brady doing some iron furnace research and we needed a roll of microfilm. It came to the desk. As it turned out, none of the Archives printers were working. So I asked Bob Clay if I could take the roll to the other side and print what I needed on one of the other machines. No, that was not possible as it couldn't leave the Archives. "How about if he walked me over and stood over me for the one page I needed?" No, he couldn't leave his desk." OK, trying to find a way out of the impasse: "How about Inter Library Loan? If I got it via ILL, could I then take it over?" Yes, that was possible.
Standing there was one of the Archives regulars who stood up to her full 5'3" or so and boomed out: "Bob Clay, I've been coming in here every day for the last 20 years, paying for parking and only now do I find out I could have done all this by ILL. Why on earth didn't you tell me this before?" She was really in high dudgeon. Bob, in that inimitable and unflappable manner of his, paused for a significant period and calmly said: "Why, you never asked me." and said it with such a straight face. They don't make them like that anymore;)
