The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service is a powerful tool to help you obtain library materials not available in NYU Shanghai Library. Here are some tips to help you love it even more!
Tip 1 – Plan your research in advance
The ILL service works like magic.✨🔮. But it’s not really done by magic.
Once submitted⬆️, your ILL request needs to travel between us and a lending library.
The speed at which you can get your hands on your requested material depends on its availability.
Try to place your ILL request as early as possible! Don’t wait for the whooshing sound of the deadline as it flies by!

Tip 2 – Let the library know your need by date
On the ILL request form🗒️, you can find a column that asks you for when you need this material by. Make use of this field！
