Can I request it through Interlibrary Services and get it quicker? There are many holds for the item I want to borrow. Most libraries will not lend an item which is less than one year old through interlibrary loan. Libraries generally prefer to keep new materials for use by their own patrons rather than sending them through interlibrary loan for use by patrons at another library. Why can't I request a book or a recording published/released for less than one year? Books published within the 12-month period before the date of your request.Nonprint materials (DVD's, CD's) released within the 12-month period before the date of your request.Scanning of more than 50 pages from a single item.Scans of entire items protected by copyright.Items for which there is a circulating copy in our collection.What cannot be borrowed through Interlibrary Services? Copies of articles or portions of books.Books which are only available at NYPL as non-circulating research copies.Books, recordings, microfilm not owned by NYPL.What can I request through Interlibrary Services? If you have a temporary Library card, you must acquire a permanent card before placing a request. If you owe the Library more than $100 in fees, you must pay the fees before placing a request. Interlibrary Services are available to all New York Public Library cardholders.
