Interlibrary Borrowing (ILB)

Need something that MIT doesn’t own?  We can help!

ILB obtains materials not owned by MIT.  ILB exists to support the teaching, learning, research, and other Institute-related work of current MIT faculty, students, staff and visiting scholars.

There is no cost for using ILB, but use is restricted to MIT only.

Getting Started:

  • Log on to ILLiad
  • First-time users: visit ILLiad to register
  • Forgot your username/password? Ask ILB

Questions?

  • For reference assistance, see: Ask Us!

Ensure efficient handling of your requests:

  • Submit all requests via ILLiad.  For copyright reasons, ILB cannot accept requests via email, telephone or fax.
  • Carefully fill out your request forms.  Incomplete or inaccurate citations can cause delays.
  • Make sure your borrowing account with the MIT Libraries is activated before using ILLiad for loan requests (see the Circulation FAQ for more information).

Before ordering material through ILB, be sure to check:

  • Barton - the online catalog of the MIT Libraries
  • Vera - the gateway to MIT’s online subscriptions, E-journals, and databases.
  • SFX FullText Finder - if you have a citation to an article and want to locate the full text fast.

We may have it here! You may not need to wait!
