Through our interlibrary loan service we can obtain material from other libraries. We will have the item sent to the Brooklyn campus from one of the other LIU campuses via courier, or a participating OCLC institution. OCLC is a nationwide computerized network of more than 3,000 libraries. Using OCLC we can locate bibliographic information for more than 55 million records, determine which libraries have a particular item and request it using the World Wide Web.

Click on the appropriate links on the left frame to submit your online requests.

Only LIU Students, Faculty, or Staff may submit Interlibrary Loan Requests.

Before you submit an interlibrary loan form for a book request you need to check the LIUCAT, LIU Libraries' Online Catalog. You also may need to check the Card Catalog for books published before 1980.

Please check our Periodicals Holdings List in LIUCAT before you submit a Journal Request. Please click Book Request or Journal Request buttons on the left side of the screen. Thank you.

The Interlibrary Loan system should be used as a final resort to find needed materials. We urge students to focus their research in order to limit Interlibrary loan request to only those materials most needed. Many of our online databases contain abstracts or summaries of the articles. It is recommended that students read the abstracts carefully in order to determine if the article is appropriate for the research topic.

Any questions? Please e-mail the Interlibrary Loan Dept. at Lisa.Burwell@liu.edu or call 718 488-1679.

A limit of 10 Interlibrary Loan books per user may be checked out of the library.
