Ever wanted a book, DVD, CD, or hard copy journal that we didn’t have in the stacks? Well, lucky for you the hard working staff at Snell just made it a lot simpler to get it from another library! Learn more about what this change means for you below.
…Psst! Didn’t know you could get a book from other libraries? Check out the basics here:

1) We’ve streamlined how you request Interlibrary Loan materials. Now instead of choosing between two systems you’ll only have to request things through Illiad. Just search for the item you’re looking for and click “Request from another library.” Library staff will figure out the fastest way to get you what you need.
2) You will now see all of your
returnables (that’s the swanky library term for physical items you have to bring back to us) in the
My Account area of the library website. This makes it easier to keep track of all the materials you have out.
3) You can renew all your Interlibrary Loan materials the same way! All renewals will now be processed through Illiad. Just click the link on the
My Account page.
4) It’s easier to know what the late fees will be. Now all your
returnables will accrue fees the same way. Learn more about our fee policy
here. Of course, you can avoid fees all together by remembering to bring your library books back on time!
The only fee difference with Interlibrary Loan materials will be replacement fees since they depend on the place we borrowed the materials from. But we know you’d never lose something from the library, right?
So that’s it! Everything you need to know about Interlibrary Loan at Snell. Feel free to shoot us any questions you have at
ill@neu.edu and we look forward to getting you all the
returnables ( I told you that vocab word would come in handy) you could ever need!
