Interlibrary Loan
State personnel, including those located in other parts of the state, are encouraged to submit requests for research materials not found in the State Library's collection. Borrowers must hold a valid State Library card. To acquire a card, please see our library card requirements.
Interns may submit requests on behalf of project supervisors, who must hold valid State Library cards. Please present a letter from your project supervisor explaining that you are borrowing materials for them. If a letter is not available, the reference staff will phone the person's office to verify this.
This program is devoted to supporting research programs in state government. We do not supply non-work related loan requests for personal reading or continuing education courses; please inquire at your local public library about acquiring these through its interlibrary loan service.
In addition, personnel who need on-site access to local academic libraries for their projects may be issued a Boston Library Consortium card. Interested persons should contact the interlibrary loan librarian.
