What do I do if Cornell does not have the book or the article that I need?
Cornell University Library offers a free delivery service that obtains books and/or copies of articles from other libraries. In the library catalog, click the BorrowDirect or Interlibrary Loan links in the upper right menu.
Delivery may take 3-4 days for BorrowDirect and 7+ days for Interlibrary Loan. Please speak with a library staff member or email mgtref@cornell.edu if you need assistance.
To suggest a book/database/journal for the library to buy, you can fill out a Purchase Request Form. A selector will decide if the cost and scope of the requested items are reasonable and relevant to our collections. If not, items can be requested through Interlibrary Loan.
