Request items not available at Cornell
Borrow Direct
If Cornell does not have the book you need, or if the book is currently charged out to another user, search the BorrowDirect system to locate a copy. See Interlibrary Loan, below, for article delivery.
BorrowDirect is a book request and delivery system that enables Cornell faculty, staff, and students to request items from the combined collections of Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale.
If an item is available through BorrowDirect, delivery can be expected in approximately 4 days. Please note: BorrowDirect can only be used for books and printed music. For journals, see Interlibrary Loan, below.
Interlibrary Loan Services
To request electronic delivery of articles from journals not held at Cornell, or to request books and other items that are not held at Cornell and are not available through BorrowDirect, use Interlibrary Loan.
Please note: Unlike BorrowDirect, Interlibrary Loan cannot be used for a book the library owns, even if the book is currently checked out to another user.
