The reciprocal nature of ILL benefits library patrons nationwide. If possible, please supply identifying information from the Dissertation Abstracts database. The more clearly the item is described, the more likely it will be obtained. The reciprocal nature of interlibrary loan does not allow us to borrow materials that we are unable to loan. Failure to return borrowed items on time jeopardizes the library's ability to borrow in the future.
Interlibrary loan is a voluntary and cooperative agreement.
Saybrook library patrons must follow the restrictions imposed by the lending library. Materials will be shipped either through UPS or the U.S. Postal Service. We prefer not to charge other libraries and have other libraries not charge us. All charges will be reciprocal. The 30 days begin on the date that the request is processed.
