To borrow outside of Harvard Libraries, two services are available to you:
Borrow Direct is an expedited Interlibrary Loan service among the Ivy League libraries. Most materials are delivered within business 4 days.
Members of the Harvard community can request books that are unavailable at Harvard Library using Borrow Direct. Please visit Harvard Library’s webpage on Borrow Direct for more information and to search the Borrow Direct catalog.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL): We can borrow a book from another library in the US affiliated with the OCLC-ILL system. Please visit Harvard Library's webpage on Interlibrary Loan for detailed and up-to-date information on how to use Interlibrary Loan.
