Interlibrary loan (ILL) service offers you access to items we do not have in the Center’s collection. Please use the CUNY+ Online Catalog (CLICS) to request items from other CUNY libraries. We can request these items from libraries across the U.S. and have them delivered to you via the Research Center. An ILL request can take anywhere from two days to two weeks to arrive, so you should not initiate an ILL request for items you need when working on a story with a tight deadline.

To initiate an Interlibrary loan, select and complete the appropriate online ILL form for the material needed:

• Book ILL Form
• Periodicals ILL Form
• AudioVisual ILL Form

To intitiate a CLICS request, follow the instructions provided below:

• CLICS How-to (pdf)

You will be contacted when your material(s) arrive.

If you have questions about the ILL service, CLICS Service, or about a request you would like to make, please e-mail Tinamarie Vella at tinamarie.vella@journalism.cuny.edu, or call 646-758-7752.
