Lending to Other Libraries

In addition to filling interlibrary loan requests on behalf of our users, we also lend to other institutions listed in the OCLC Policies Directory; members of the New Jersey Library Cooperative; and to SHARES members worldwide. Requests for books and journals from our collections may be sent via OCLC (Symbol: NJR) JerseyCat, or by logging into your Rutgers ILLiad account. If you don't yet have an account with us, please complete the registration request form.
