What is Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?
Interlibrary Loan is a service through which patrons may request print and audio-visual materials not owned by The College of Staten Island Library or any other CUNY library.
Who Can Use ILL?
All current College of Staten Island faculty, staff and students may register and request materials thru interlibrary loan.
Is there a limit on the number of requests a borrower may submit?
The interlibrary loan service limits borrowers to 25 transactions in process at any one time. This includes pending requests, received requests, and items being returned. We limit the number of requests we process, in order to make sure other patrons' requests are processed in a timely manner.
Is There a Charge for ILL?
Interlibrary Loan services are provided to current CSI faculty, staff, and students only, usually without any costs from participating institutions. Occasionally, there may be a fee from non-participating institutions that charge for interlibrary loan services. When submitting your request please select if you are willing to pay for the items or you would only like the item if it is available free to you.
What Types of Materials are Available?
The ILL Department will attempt to borrow articles, books and other material you may require. Some items are more difficult to borrow and thus take longer to arrive. These include current yearbooks, rare materials, bound journal volumes, videotapes, DVDs or CDs, foreign theses and dissertations, and microprint. Not all items are available and many institutions require fees for lending or do not lend or copy rare materials and full journal issues. If you would like further assistance before placing your request, please contact the ILL office at (718) 982-4014/4076
How long does it take?
Most loan requests are filled within 5-10 business days; articles generally arrive within one week. Other materials may take longer, depending on the location of the supplying library and method of delivery used.
How will loans be delivered?
How Long Can I Keep the Material?
Photocopies, unless otherwise noted, are yours to keep. Documents delivered electronically are available for download for thirty (30) days after first received. Loans of books and other materials may generally be kept for three (3) weeks unless otherwise noted on the book strap. If you need to use the material longer, please sign into your interlibrary loan account and renew the item directly.
