The loan period is normally from 2 to 4 weeks. Interlibrary loan renewal request forms are available at the Circulation and Reference Desks. We will not accept requests for renewal of items that are already overdue. You may renew an item only once and may not borrow it again on interlibrary loan during the same semester. The lending library also sets the conditions under which an item may be used.
Libraries can restrict the use of their materials to on-site use within the library only.
Photocopying of materials may be prohibited. If you have questions about the restricted use of materials contact the Library Technical Services Department. Faculty and staff with overdue interlibrary loan items will be blocked from borrowing from CUNY libraries and from the use of interlibrary loan services. Interlibrary loan services depend upon the good will and reciprocity of other libraries. Items lent to us have been purchased by the lending library for its own patrons, just as those that we lend have been purchased for use by our faculty and students.
