ILL Services Update

SBU Libraries' staff are filling as many Interlibrary Loan requests as they are able to. However, with many libraries still closed or facing limited staff and hours across the nation, your request may or may not be filled.

Some MOBIUS and Prospector items may not be requestable at this time.

You can request articles online via ArticleReach. To find out how, click here: https://libguides.sbuniv.edu/howto/request-articles-articlereach.

There are several free resources listed on this guide that may offer temporary access to an item you are looking for. Feel free to check there!

We will update this page when Interlibrary Loan services return to normal and they are fully available once again.
