Library Services Spring 2021: Interlibrary Loan

I'd like to submit an interlibrary loan request for a book/movie/CD, etc.

Libraries are starting to open, so you may now request books and multimedia. Please keep in mind that books may take 1-3 weeks to arrive, depending on the supplier and the delivery method.   Many libraries remain closed or remain in a remote-operating status this spring.  This does hinder our ability to obtain material.  Our on-campus deliveries to the library are also sporadic.  This often slows delivery of both UPS and FedEx by over a week.  Rest assured the ILL department continues to process your requests and tries to get your material just as quickly as we did before the current situation. 
 
 

I'd like to submit an interlibrary loan request for an article or book chapter.

You're welcome to place article and book chapter requests during this time. You'll be emailed the PDFs as soon as they arrive.

Do I need to come to the Library to pick up my ILL materials?

Articles PDFs will be sent directly to your ILLIAD account and you will be emailed that they are available.  Books and multimedia do need to be picked up at our Circulation Desk.  

I have a question about a specific order I already placed.

Please email libill@umassd.edu or call 508-999-8683.

I'd like to submit a ComCat request.

Our ComCat access is now available and a great option for ordering books.
