Interlibrary loan is a free service through which Emerson College faculty, students, and staff can borrow materials not owned by the Iwasaki Library from our partner libraries and institutions.
Emerson students, faculty, and staff may submit a maximum of 5 requests per day.
Please submit requests in order of priority.
Ebooks cannot be loaned or borrowed at this time. You can submit requests for a single chapter of an ebook.
You can check the status of your request at any time. If you are not contacted within four weeks, please reach out. Otherwise please assume that your request is in process.
For assistance with ILL, please contact Nora Brosseau, Interlibrary Loan Supervisor (ILL) atnora_brosseau@emerson.edu
