Yale Law School Faculty, Students, and Staff
Interlibrary loan supports research and course-related activity of the Yale Law community by obtaining photocopies and short-term loans of materials that are not available at Yale.
Requests should be submitted via our web form at: http://ill.library.yale.edu/illiad/.
Copies of articles are delivered by electronic document delivery (eDD). Patrons will be notified by an email message which will provide instructions as to how to use eDD. Notification that books have arrived will be sent to the student's e-mail address. Books can be picked up at the circulation desk. Faculty material will be delivered to the faculty office.
Patrons will be billed for lost or damaged books. Fees are determined by the lending library. In addition there is a $20 non-refundable processing fee.
For further information contact Lauren King (lawill@pantheon.yale.edu) at (203) 432-1640. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
