Due to complications arising from the ongoing Congressional budget inaction and contracting delays, there will be a temporary interruption in some interlibrary loan services. We are working to restore full service as quickly as possible. In the interim, interlibrary loan service remains available in Scout using the "Regional request" function. This service provides direct access to millions of titles from across partner institutions in New York State. For any other critical information needs, please contact your department liaison or the Library Help Desk for assistance.
