If you have not already registered for Interlibrary Loan services at Cornell, go the Interlibrary Loan website. Please choose Mann Library as your ILL Processing Unit while registering. Requests can be submitted from the same site.

Patrons can now also request interlibrary loans from within the Cornell Library catalog. After searching for an item and finding it unavailable at Cornell, click the Borrow Direct or Worldcat Libraries button in the Get This Item section of the item record.

This is a two step process:

1. Ask your supervisor to set you up as a proxy.Only staff or faculty can authorize a proxy.
2. Create an ILL account at the Interlibrary Loan site with the project name or supervisor's name and NOT your personal name. We assume that you will have access to the password in order to make requests on somebody else's behalf.

All requests can be tracked online on the same site used to make requests.

1. Logon to Interlibrary Loan. 
2. Click on "Review All Requests" and choose among various options.

If you have any questions about the status of your requests, please email mann_ill@cornell.edu.

Renewals are not guaranteed but we will try our best to obtain a renewal for ILL items.

1. To request a renewal on an interlibrary loan item, go to the ILL webpage and logon.
2. Choose the "Review All Requests" button at the top of the page.
3. Select "View/Renew Checked Out Items" and submit the item that you want renewed.

Patrons receive three overdue notices over a period of 10 days from the due date. After 10 days, your ILLiad account is blocked which means you can no longer submit requests. Within 5 business days your circulation account will show a fine of $100.00.

$75.00 is for replacement cost and $25.00 is a late fine. If the item is returned in the future and remains in good condition, the $75.00 fine is waived. The $25.00 late fine is non-negotiable and needs to be paid at the Mann Circulation Desk.
