Interlibrary Loan for Books beyond Harvard

Interlibrary loan services (for books or articles not available here or at other Harvard libraries in Cambridge) are available to all Harvard Divinity School students, faculty, and staff who carry valid Harvard University photo ID cards.

You may submit online forms to request a book or an article through interlibrary loan, or you may use printable forms (Adobe Acrobat required) to request a book or an article. Copies of these forms are also available at the circulation desk. On the Article Request Form, please include citation information, and do not forget to sign the Copyright Compliance Agreement by checking "Yes" and adding the date.

It usually takes at least two weeks to obtain a requested item. The lending library determines the due date and whether the items may leave the library to which an item is loaned. Failure to return items on time will result in fines and loss of interlibrary loan privileges.

If you would like to recommend that the library purchase the item, rather than borrow it, please use our Recommendations for Purchase form.

For more information, consult the circulation staff, 617.495.7738, or email interlibrary loan, ill@hds.harvard.edu.
