Interlibrary borrowing

We can help you borrow books, articles, or other materials that Stanford does not have (so be sure to check SearchWorks or consult with a librarian first!). Check to make sure that you're eligible to use interlibrary services and that the materials are eligible to be borrowed.

Winter closure: December 19, 2015-January 3, 2016. You can submit Interlibrary Borrowing (ILB) requests during winter closure; however, requests and renewals will be processed beginning on Monday, January 4, 2016. (Please review RLCP pages for separate winter closure information.) Please do not return materials loaned by non-Stanford libraries to campus bookdrops. Return materials to the Green Circulation Desk and request a return receipt. Beginning on Monday, January 4, 2016, materials returned during the closure will be shipped to the various lending libraries.

Stanford RLCP and Interlibrary Services wishes everyone a restful winter break.

Pick up an item

Articles: Most articles are delivered electronically.

Books: Most books can be picked up at Green Library's Circulation Desk (first floor, East Wing).

Media and microforms: These items, including DVDs, VHS, CDs and other electronic media, are held under the borrower's name at the media circulation desk on Green's lower level. Media and microforms must be used in the Media-Microtext room.

Special Collections: Some materials may only be used within the library. These are placed in the Special Collections Reading Room (second floor, Bing Wing) and are subject to Special Collections use policies.
