Library Resources and Services for Cornell Health Staff: What If We Don't Have It?

Online guide for the December 20, 2023, staff meeting.

BorrowDirect and ILL Services

If we don't have a book that you want, or we have the book but it's checked out:

BorrowDirect

Click on the link above, connect to BorrowDirect, search for the book and if it's available from another BorrowDirect partner library, we will have it shipped to Cornell. Borrowing period is one month. Books arrive in 3-4 business days. (This service is for print books only).

If we don't own an item that you need (any item--journal article, DVD, dissertation, etc.):

Interlibrary Loan Service

Use our free interlibrary loan service to request it. We will obtain a digitized copy of an article from other libraries. Physical items are usually loaned for one month.

We invite you to check with the reference staff if you are having trouble finding a particular book or journal. We can help!
