While the Library's collection of digital and physical resources is extensive, it is quite likely that you may need an item that the Library does not own. In these instances the Library, on behalf of the patron, will reach out to its network of partner libraries and attempt to provide access to the requested materials.
Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service by which Drew students, faculty and staff can submit requests to borrow materials not held by the Drew Libraries. Users can request journal articles, books and book chapters.
A complete guide to using this borrowing system (called Rapido), as well as how to submit a variety of these requests, and the rules for doing as, can be found below.
