3. The link will take you to an auto-populated Interlibrary Loan screen. Confirm the book information is accurate, then click on 'submit request':

You may also request unavailable items directly in EZBorrow or Interlibrary Loan. EZBorrow is a faster service, but Interlibrary Loan is slower because it does not include NYU's partners in the New York area.

Note: EZBorrow and Interlibrary Loan requests may take two weeks or longer to arrive at NYUAD, depending on the lending institution's speed.

Request links for journals, periodicals, and other types of multi-volume materials are displayed on the specific tile within the location. This is different than other resource types in the catalog.

For example, NYU-NY has physical copies of the journal “Aging”, with issues 1-367 held offsite.

To place a request for a specific volume, you need to first click into the library location (NYU Bobst Offsite) to expand the list of volumes. You can then place the request on the volume you prefer.
