Borrowing and Access Options

  • The Borrow, Renew and Return Library Materials webpage contains information about borrowing privileges, renewing and returning, and accessing materials.
     
  • Interlibrary Loan allows you to request materials from around the world. It includes the BorrowDirect service, through which Harvard can borrow quickly from the collections of our partner institutions.
     
  • Scan and Deliver offers an electronic scan of two chapters from a book or two articles from a journal in our collection. (The limit to the number of requests is dictated by U.S. copyright law.)
     
  • The How to Use Your Harvard Key guide explains various ways to get online articles for free through Harvard.
