The Dartmouth College Library is pleased to announce the addition of MIT library holdings to BorrowDirect this week.  MIT Libraries adds more than 2,000,000 titles to the ever growing BorrowDirect collection.

CRL (Center for Research Libraries) holdings now displayed within BorrowDirect search results

All types of materials are available from the Center for Research Libraries, not just books. If there is no circulating BorrowDirect copy then the option to place a DartDoc request will be offered.  Be sure to specify what volume you want they want on the DartDoc form if they are requesting a multi-volume set or multiple years of a title.

Resource Sharing Services offers several options for providing access to materials held in our collections or obtaining materials available from other libraries or sources.

Borrowing Material that Dartmouth Does Not Own

Borrow Direct enables faculty, students and staff at Dartmouth College, and DHMC physicians, residents, and staff with DMS faculty appointments to search and directly request materials from the combined catalogs ofBrown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton,  Yale and the Center for Research Libraries, a collection of over 50 million volumes, and directly request expedited delivery of circulating items.  Princeton also loans select audio recordings to the Borrow Direct consortium. Materials are generally delivered within 3-5 days and may be used for 42 days with one 42 day renewal.

DartDoc is Dartmouth College Library's system for requesting documents (books, articles, patents, etc.) for your research. DartDoc includes what is traditionally known as “interlibrary loan” for borrowing materials from other institutions for any registered borrower. Initial loans are generally 30 days with one possible renewal.

On-Campus Delivery of Dartmouth Library Materials

Faculty, staff and PHD candidates may use the "Request Selected Item"or DartDoc feature in the online catalog to request items from the collections to be delivered to a choice of libraries on campus. Articles and book chapters will be delivered electronically unless otherwise requested.

Undergraduates, graduate students, and registered borrowers may use the"Request Selected Item" or DartDoc feature in the online catalog to request books and journal articles from two off-campus locations, the Storage Library and the Matthews-Fuller Health Sciences Library. Articles and book chapters will be delivered electronically unless otherwise requested.
