Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary loan (ILL) supplements our resources by providing material from outside of Hebrew College, free of charge, for patrons' research needs. It includes lending of material between libraries and electronic delivery of articles from journals and other sources. Hebrew College ILL is limited to Judaica material or research required for Hebrew College classes or faculty.

Who may use ILL?
ILL service is available to current students, faculty, staff, and all Gann Library members in good standing. Hebrew College Online students may request articles, but not books, due to the time it takes to ship them; articles can usually be delivered to patrons electronically. We recommend that you attempt to obtain ILL resources from local public and academic libraries.

You will be notified by email or by phone. You may then pick the item up at the Circulation Desk, or, if the item is delivered to us electronically, we may transfer it to you electronically as an email attachment.

How long can I keep the material? May I renew it?
Loan periods are generally four weeks, and renewals are granted at the discretion of the lending institution. A slip informing you of the due date will be inserted with each item. If you wish a renewal, please contact Mimi Mazor (617-559-8755,

If a book is returned late, are there late fees?
It is very important that material borrowed through ILL is promptly returned so that we have time to return it to the lending institution. If material is not returned on time,
an overdue fee of $1.00 per day, per item, will be charged to all borrowers.
