Members of the Tufts community may request items owned by a Tufts library, other than HHSL, for free. Please indicate in these ILLiad requests whether you are unwilling to pay for items from non-Tufts libraries, in case we are unable to retrieve the item from the Tufts collection.

Members of the Tufts community with special needs may also request items free of charge. See, Library Services for Special Needs for more information.

In addition, all requests made through the BLC Virtual Catalog are free.
