First Time User Registration for Web Interlibrary Loan Please read the information below, including the copyright information. The Smith College interlibrary loan service borrows books and other circulating material not owned by the Five College libraries. The loan period is set by the lending library and is usually 3-4 weeks.
Renewals are usually possible.
Generally, however, think of these as short-term loans. Books are typically easy to borrow. Scores, videos, sound recordings, etc. are more difficult to obtain, but we will try to get what you need. The interlibrary loan service also orders photocopies of articles from journals not owned by Smith. These photocopies are yours to keep.
