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 allows faculty, students and staff at Dartmouth College to directly request books from the combined Ivy League catalogs of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, UPenn, Princeton, and Yale. 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 no renewals.

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 DartDoc or the "Request Selected Item" 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 DartDoc or the "Request Selected Item" 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.
