ILL Request Form



Interlibrary loan service is available to Boston University students, faculty, and staff of the Schools of Medicine, Dental Medicine, Public Health, and the BU Medical Campus, including Boston Medical Center and BMC Brighton (formerly St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center).

Materials in electronic format (i.e., journal articles and book chapters) usually arrive within 1-4 business days: print books will take longer since they must be shipped and some of our partner libraries have limited hours and/or staff. We appreciate your patience when requesting print materials.

There is no charge for ILL service.

Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

The Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.

Under certain conditions specified in the Law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of Copyright Law.
