Policies and Procedures

  1. Interlibrary loan is designed to make supplemental resources for research available to Princeton Seminary students, faculty and staff, as well as CTI scholars, Visiting Scholars and OMSC Global Partners.
  2. Borrowed books do not circulate. Borrowers must pick up all books at the Circulation Desk, use them in the library, and return them to the Circulation Desk.
  3. If the borrower needs many items, they should arrange to visit the libraries where those materials are held. The reference librarian reserves the right to limit the number of requests honored for a particular borrower, in accordance with accepted interlibrary loan practice.
  4. A borrower should not request materials that Princeton Theological Seminary owns unless they have been officially designated as missing. Books already checked out to another borrower must be recalled.
  5. A borrower should not request materials that Princeton University owns.
  6. Course Reserves or other required texts for classes should not be requested via interlibrary loan.
  7. Use the ILL Request Form to make a request. Borrowers may bring questions to a member of the reference staff during regular service hours or via email.
  8. Books are borrowed at no charge to the borrower.
