•  If you need books physically located in another RU library, you can request they be sent to the library of your choice.  On the full record in Quicksearch, select the "Request"  link. 

• If you need books either not owned, checked out, or otherwise not available in the Rutgers University Libraries, the fastest way to get them is through E-Z Borrow.  Books requested from E-Z Borrow usually arrive in about one week.  For additional options and more information , please see Placing Requests via Quicksearch and  Borrow/Request/Renew.

WorldCat provides book holdings information from libraries around the world.  Items found in WorldCat that we do not own can be requested via InterLibrary Loan.
