To arrange a loan, please contact interlibraryloan@nyls.edu between 10 and 5 pm.  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.  After getting a visitor’s pass from the New York Law School Security at 47 Worth Street, messengers may come to the library, which is located at 40 Worth Street, on the 4^th floor.  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.
