Ordering Materials

All ordering of materials is done through the ILLiad system. Before requesting a book or video through Interlibrary Loan check to be sure that is not available to borrow through Summit.

Also note that most library databases now include links to library-owned online articles or to the Interlibrary Loan request form. When using a library database it's easiest to request articles in this way.

We will contact you by e-mail when your request arrives. Books are held at the Circulation Desk. Photocopies of articles are mailed directly to campus mailboxes.

Please return all borrowed materials to the Circulation Desk. You may keep photocopies of journal articles unless otherwise noted.

Circulating books and photocopies of journal and newspaper articles are easily obtained from most participating libraries. However, reference materials, dissertations, high-use materials, rare books and all forms of audiovisual media are sometimes difficult to obtain or unavailable.

We cannot initiate Interlibrary Loan requests for materials that we own. If a book in the library collection is checked out, try to request the item via Summit (this is usually faster than recalling the item). If the item is not available through Summit, ask at the Circulation Desk to have the book recalled.

The Hatfield Library is bound by restrictions imposed by lenders. On occasion, libraries require that the materials they lend be used in the library or that materials not be photocopied.

Fulfillment of requests is subject to the availability of materials and to the policies and fees of lending libraries.
