Information Delivery Express: Your Interlibrary Loan Service
If RIT Library doesn't have what you need...
most likely we can get it for you thanks to a cooperative effort
among libraries to share resources called interlibrary loan.
Current RIT students, faculty, emeritus and staff:
Current RIT students, faculty, emeritus and staff can easily request and borrow
books, journal articles and other items not available in the RIT
Library collection using IDS Express.
On average, it costs $20.00-$25.00 per ILL request with costs for
theses, reports and patents typically much higher, but there is
no charge for this service to RIT faculty, staff and students.
Off-campus RIT Online Learners:
IDS Express is the way to request library materials and have it
sent to you via FedEx. This includes delivery of books, journal
articles and other items owned by RIT Library as well as delivery
of materials we obtain from other libraries on your behalf. There
is no charge for this service.
