Interlibrary Loan & Document Delivery Services

Document Requests

If we don’t have an article or document in our collection, we can often get it through interlibrary loan (ILL) from other libraries.

Placing Requests

Stevens students, faculty, and staff can request a document by using the Interlibrary Loan Request Portal. 

Costs

Document Requests are Free.

Turnaround

Usually 3-10 business days.

Documents Ineligible through Interlibrary Loan: 

• Documents that are already available through the Samuel C. Williams Library's subscription databases or print periodicals

• Entire issues of periodicals. We can get individual documents only. No more than 3 articles per issue of a journal will be filled in one calendar year to comply with copyright laws. 

• Rare or archival materials, including manuscripts

• All standards including ISO, ASTM, or ANSI standards

• Harvard Business Review cases

• Chapters of books 

• Other items subject to copyright limitations
