Interlibrary Loan (ILL) obtains library materials that are not owned by Brooklyn College or CUNY Libraries.
Its services are extended to Brooklyn College faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students, and members of the IRPE. Readers must have a current validated Brooklyn College I.D. card. The Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery unit is located in room 360 on the third floor of the Library.
|
You can use ILL to request articles not owned by the Brooklyn College Library.
First verify, via Online Catalog & E-Journals Finder, that the article is not available in Brooklyn College Library, either in hard copy, in the electronic databases, or in microfilm. (Articles that are in CUNY may be requested through ILL, since they are not available through CLICS.) Then click here to request: ILL REQUEST FORM.
|
You can use ILL to request books not owned by this or any other CUNY Library.
First verify, via Online Catalog, that the book is not available in Brooklyn College or in CUNY libraries. If it is owned by CUNY, request via CLICS. If it is not available in BC or CUNY, click here: ILL REQUEST FORM.
|
WorldCat will inform you whether the item is available in BC ( BROOKLYN COL LIBR) or CUNY ( CUNY LIBRARIES). If the item is not available in BC or CUNY, you may request it directly from WorldCat using the ILL icon in the menu bar. Caution: There may be many records for a title in WorldCat. Try to choose the one with the most libraries.
NB: Frequent ILL borrowers should use Patron Initiated ILL via WorldCat.
|
Requesting items through CLICS and ILL is free of charge.
The Library absorbs the costs for items requested through CLICS and ILL. However, the costs for overdue and lost books are passed on to the patron.
|
Please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery of items requested through ILL.
We process all requests as quickly as possible, but we depend on the generosity of other libraries to fill your requests and on the U.S. Postal Service to deliver most of them, so the time it takes to complete a transaction varies. If you need an item right away, please tell us. You will be notified by telephone or e-mail when the materials arrive.
|
There are exceptions as to what may be borrowed through ILL.
- Music Scores within CUNY are not available through CLICS. They must be requested through ILL.
- Visual Materials are available through Interlibrary Loan only for faculty and only if the item is held within CUNY.
- Sound Recordings are not available through Interlibrary Loan.
|
Loan periods of items borrowed from other libraries varies.
Loan periods for books vary, so check the due date on the front of the book. Renewals can be arranged only with permission of the lending library. To request a renewal, please contact InterLibrary Loan at least two days prior to due date. Please return books to the Circulation Desk (on the 1st floor) or Interlibrary Loan (room 360) in the Library.
Photocopies do not have to be returned.
|
Requested items are to be picked up at the Circulation Desk.
Items requested through CLICS or ILL can be picked up from and returned to the Circulation Desk on the first floor of the Library to the right of the entrance.
