InterLibrary Loan (ILL)
Interlibrary loan is a free service that allows SEU students, faculty, and staff to
borrow resources not owned by Mahoney Library. We can borrow items such as print books,
journal articles, book chapters, and DVDs. These items will have a due date set by
the library that lent us the item, which could be anywhere from a few weeks to a few
months. While some requests can be filled quickly, others may take up to a few weeks
to be filled. In rare cases, the lending library may charge a fee to borrow their books. We make
every attempt to borrow from free libraries, but if a fee-based loan is the only option,
we will contact you with the cost to get your consent before proceeding.
To submit an ILL request, click the button below to be taken to our request form.
Include as much information as you can about the item you would like. Please remember to check the Online Catalog and our databases to see if Mahoney Library already has the item you need before submitting your request.
You can also search for the article's title in Google Scholar to see if an open-access copy is available online.
Direct Borrowing
Students, faculty, and staff who are willing and able to travel to other libraries to pick up books may do so through the VALE NJ reciprocal borrowing program. Both Fairleigh-Dickinson University (only available to fac/staff and graduate students) and Drew University are less than 10 minutes away from campus and are excellent resources for print materials. If you are interested in borrowing books from these other libraries, please fill out this form and bring it to Mahoney Library for staff to sign. You can also pick up a copy of this form at the library circulation desk.
Once Mahoney Library staff sign the form, take the completed form and photo ID to the VALE library of your choice and present it at that library's circulation desk. You will be issued borrowing privileges and/or a guest borrower card to use at that library. You can do this for multiple VALE libraries as long as you complete separate forms for each library.
Other university libraries nearby that allow undergraduate borrowing include Caldwell University, Kean University, Montclair State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University, and Seton Hall University. Not every library allows undergraduate students to borrow books, so please check the link below before traveling.
