NOTE: If you currently have an open Interlibrary Loan request, please CHECK YOUR SNHU EMAIL every day in case we need to contact you about your request.
No. Interlibrary Loan materials cannot be used as required or optional course readings, as the service is intended to provide individual students, staff, and faculty access to research material not available through Shapiro Library. It is a violation of copyright law to use an article, book, or book chapter obtained from Interlibrary Loan as a replacement for course texts.
If you would like to place an item on reserve that is owned by neither you nor the Shapiro Library, please contact your school’s library liaison (faculty/staff access only) to request a purchase. Please note that it can take several weeks to complete book/media orders, so please plan accordingly.
