Interlibrary loan (ILL) service offers you access to items we do not have in the Center’s collection. Please use the CUNY Libraries Intra-Campus Delivery Service (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, please use our new ILLiad web form, you’ll need to sign up for an account first:
To initiate a CLICS request, follow the instructions provided below:
- CLICS Instuctions (pdf)
You will be contacted when your material(s) arrive.
If you have questions about ILLiad, 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.
