Library Services Request Form

We have recently moved to a single request form across library services. You may have been redirected here from the form that you are accustomed to using; don't worry, we are still providing all of the same services!

You no longer need to determine in advance whether the book(s) or scan(s) that you want are in the IAS collection, at Princeton University Library, or available only through Interlibrary Loan. Please just submit whatever information you have into this form, and we will take it from there!

Some information about timing. Any volumes in the IAS collection at McBride will generally be available within 1-2 business days. Library staff go to Princeton University’s Firestone Library twice per week. These trips usually occur on Tuesdays and Fridays, weather permitting. Books from Princeton's Lewis Library will generally be available within 3 business days. Interlibrary Loan materials may take two or more weeks to arrive; in cases of a long wait, the Interlibrary Loan librarian will email you.

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17. United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy/reproduction is not to be "used for any purposes other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes "in excess" of fair use, that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
