Off-Campus Library services are provided for currently enrolled students, faculty and staff who reside outside of Manchester, NH.
Off-campus students & faculty may request copies of articles from the Library's in-house print journals and periodicals by submitting an Interlibrary Loan This link opens in a new window Request Form.
Use of copied articles must be in accordance with copyright laws of the United States – Title 17, U.S. Code.
Before making requests, please check the availability of the periodical or journal via the Periodical Finder This link opens in a new window as we may already have it available in one of our online article databases.
Copied articles from in-house titles will be transmitted in a timely manner, usually via e-mail. There are no charges for copying or forwarding articles from our in-house periodical collections. Articles do not have to be returned to the Library.
The Library pays both the outgoing and return postage for material. Items will be mailed via FedEx to US addresses and generally arrive within 1-3 business days.
All items will be checked out for a 4 week time period. PLEASE NOTE: checkout time includes the days it takes to ship. It is highly suggested that borrowers renew their items shortly before mailing them for return so items do not become overdue while they are en route back to the library.
The following items are not available for checkout
Please refer to our full Interlibrary Loan Policy for further information on this service.
The borrower is responsible for all items from the moment they are mailed from Shapiro Library until the moment they are received back at Shapiro Library. This responsibility includes the physical condition of items and any replacement or processing costs that may be incurred.
Items that are returned to the Library more than four (4) weeks after the due date will be subject to both per-item replacement charge(s) (of at least $100/item) and a non-refundable processing fee of $15.00 per item. The returning postmark date will be accepted as the return date when considering whether an item is overdue. Material postmarked after the due date will incur fines if received more than four weeks past the due date.
Not all parcel delivery services use postmark dates—if there is no postmark date, the date received will be used as the check-in date.
Borrowers may renew items online if other borrowers have not placed holds on those items. Borrowers may check their records and request renewals by logging in to the "Your Library Account" feature in the Online Library Catalog using their mySNHU user name and mySNHU password.
