Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a nationwide service that can be used to request books or DVDs, as well as book chapter scans and article scans.
You can make a request or check the status any open requests by signing in to your ILL page or emailing libhelp@newschool.edu. You will be notified by email when articles or book chapters have been delivered to you in electronic format, or when books are available to be checked out.
Watch our How to Access Interlibrary Loan video tutorial or read the FAQ on ILL for detailed instructions.
EZBorrow delivers physical items such as books and DVDs to The New School. Please see instructions in this FAQ, or view our step-by-step video tutorial on requesting books that are in the library catalog.
When your request arrives at The New School, you will receive an email notification. Books can be borrowed for 16 weeks and cannot be renewed.
