Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) allows you to borrow items from us that we obtain for you from other libraries. Students, faculty and staff may request items. Community borrowers are asked to make requests to their public library.

Books, articles in newspapers and journals, etc. may be requested. Be aware that some libraries are reluctant to loan CDs, DVDs, videos, etc. We always try to obtain items from libraries that do not charge. If we are unable to do so, we will obtain your permission before incurring any fees. The library we are borrowing from determines how long materials may be borrowed. Please make requests for renewals early, as permission must be obtained from the lending library. Requests can be made in person in the library, using our online book and article ILL request forms or from within the Connecticut statewide library catalog (reQuest). Requests are limited to 5 items at a time.

If you have questions regarding ILL, please call 860.343.5834 or 860.343.5830 or contact us via email.
