Rare books, reference books, genealogical material and audiovisual material are difficult to obtain through interlibrary loan. Approximately two weeks. Materials coming from Boston Consortium libraries arrive sooner than those sent from other institutions through the U.S. Postal Service. Approximately 28 days from the date of receipt. Each lending library has its own lending policies.
Most libraries allow one renewal.
If a renewal is necessary, please contact the Interlibrary Loan Department at least a week before the book is due. Photocopies are yours to keep. There is no limit, but during high volume periods we can only promise to process 3 requests per patron per day. You must pick up the material at the Clapp Library main circulation desk. Books must also be returned to the Clapp Library main circulation desk by the due date.
