When registering, alumni must provide a photo ID. Alumni may access databases at guest computers (1st floor) while in the library.

Holds

If a book you need has the status "not available" or "on loan" in the Library Catalog/Royal Search, you can request a copy of the book through PALCI EZBorrow.

If a book you need has the status "available", you can place a hold on it, and library staff will pull the book from the stacks for you. You will receive an e-mail when the book is ready for you to pick up at the Library Services Desk. You can also retrieve the book from the stacks yourself if you need it right away. Ask for assistance at the Library Services Desk for help finding books and resources.

Interlibrary Loans

After checking the Weinberg Memorial Library's catalog and finding that the Library does not own desired materials, or finding that the copy we own is checked out, University faculty, students, and staff may borrow these materials from another library. Students enrolled in Online Programs should contact the ILL office at interlibrary-loan@scranton.edu before making any requests.

Books may be borrowed through PALCI EZBorrow, where direct borrowing from over 50 regional academic libraries is available from a single search. Books usually arrive in 3-5 business days, and you receive an e-mail when your book is ready for pick up at the Library Services Desk. Materials are loaned for 16 weeks, with no renewal. If books are not available through PALCI EZBorrow, they may be requested through ILLiad.

The first time you use ILLiad, you will be asked to register as a new user. Once registered you will be prompted to login with your Royal ID and password. In the left-hand menu under “new request”, choose the type of material you need (article request, book, etc.), and fill in as much information as possible on the form to facilitate processing. Reference Librarians can assist users in locating all necessary information for completing the form. If you have already found an article in a library database and click on the “request through Interlibrary Loan” link, the request form will be filled in for you automatically.

Articles are often available within 24 hours, and you are notified by e-mail when the article is delivered to your ILLiad account. Articles remain available in your ILLiad account for 14 days. Most book requests are filled within 1-2 weeks, depending on the availability of the material. You receive an e-mail when your book is ready for pick up at the Library Services Desk. ILL books are loaned for 30 days and may be renewed at the discretion of the loaning library.

There are no charges for borrowing books or for article delivery through ILLiad, but borrowers are financially responsible for items that are lost or damaged while checked out on their account.

Laptops and Lendable Technology

日本一级片 students with full borrowing privileges may borrow a laptop computer at the Library Services Desk. Users with delinquent accounts are not permitted to borrow laptops. Borrowing is limited to one item per borrower at a time and items are available on a first-come basis. They may not be reserved or recalled from another borrower. A “Laptop Loan Agreement and Use Policy” must be read and signed each academic year. Laptops may not be borrowed over semester/holiday breaks.

Other technology may be borrowed from the Library Services Desk by 日本一级片 students and employees for use in the building.

Loan Periods

Books: The standard loan period for undergraduate students, graduate students, adjunct faculty and staff is the semester term. The loan period for Faculty is the full academic year.
