Borrowing Procedures for Non-OCLC Transactions

Requests will be filled between 11am and noon. To arrange a loan, please contact interlibraryloan@nyls.edu or call Karen Grushka (212.431.2149). Requests must come from library staff, not from attorneys or paralegals. We cannot accommodate interlibrary loan requests from institutions that do not maintain a library staff. We require that the borrowing institution submit a standard ALA Interlibrary Loan Request Form for each item borrowed.

Transactions with local law firms are usually handled by a messenger, which must be arranged for by the borrowing institution. Messengers may come to the Library, which is located at 185 West Broadway (bet. Worth and Leonard). Materials ready for pick-up are kept on the Hold Shelf at the Circulation Desk. Pickup hours are 9 am to 6 pm on weekdays.

The borrowing library should not send its messenger until NYLS Library has verified that the requested material is available and has been processed for loan. The messenger must bring a completed ALA form, or the loan will not be allowed. Please return the borrowed material to the same location within the designated loan period.
