InterLibrary Loan (ILL) in General

You can also initiate an ILL request on your own by clicking the link in the QUICK LINKS box. You may request print books (not e-books); book chapters (PDF files); and journal, magazine, or newspaper articles (PDF files).

Articles and other e-resources can take anywhere from 24 hours to a few days to obtain. We'll send you an email with a link to click to find the PDF files, which you should immediately download.

Books will take longer to obtain: you will receive an email notification. Then visit the Help Desk at Beekman Library (4th floor) or Mortola Library to pick up the book.

You may log in to ILL on the library website to see the progress of your requests.
