Borrowing from Other Libraries
Interlibrary Loans (ILL)
Tufts Veterinary students, faculty, and staff who need material not available at the Veterinary Library may request the items using ILLiad. The ILL staff person will attempt to borrow or get copies of material from other libraries. Many journal articles are available online, please check the Tufts Online Catalog for holdings before submitting your request.
Please supply a full bibliographic citation and the citation source (e.g., Medline) if you can. This information will help us to expedite the interlibrary loan process. Every effort is made to get material as quickly as possible. On average, articles arrive in 1-7 days; books may take up to 3 weeks or more. Libraries are required to observe both the regulations of the lending library and U.S. copyright laws.
Forms for submitting book or article requests are available online through the Webster Veterinary Library website.
Charges
- Faculty & Staff: $5.00 per completed request.
- Students: 10 free loans per semester. $5.00 per loan thereafter.
Note: All requests should indicate the latest date that the patron needs the material.
