Initiating Requests Contact a librarian for assistance in identifying materials needed for research. A separate paper or electronic form must be submitted for each item requested. Forms must be filled out completely. In accordance with state and national ILL Loan Codes, all citations must be verified. Verification could be a print-out from an electronic index or a photocopy from the source in which the citation was found.
Librarians can also verify citations.
Submitting Forms Completed, verified, and initialed ILL request forms must be left in the ILL drop box, located just outside the ILL office. There are currently no charges for SMC faculty, staff, or students to obtain ILL materials. When items are found to be available in the Burlington area libraries, patrons are encouraged to go directly to those library rather than submitting ILL requests. Reciprocal borrowing agreements are in force with all of these libraries, with the exception of the libraries at the University of Vermont. Materials at the UVM libraries may be consulted and copied on the premises.
