These photocopies are yours to keep. All currently-affiliated Smith College faculty, staff, and students may use the Smith College interlibrary loan service. Affiliates of the other Five Colleges, alumnae, and public borrowers are not eligible to use Smith's interlibrary loan service. Use interlibrary loan for all article requests. If you submit a large number of requests on a single day, they may not all be sent out on the same day.
Articles usually arrive within a few days.
Books can take anywhere from a few days to arrive to several weeks, depending on how far they must travel and what shipping method the supplier uses. Service may be slower during the peak of the semester or during vacation periods. You will have secure access to information about your current and old interlibrary loan requests. We recommend that you follow good security practice and choose a password that is different from those you use to access other systems. Your password will be encrypted, so it will remain secure.
