See the Libraries' COVID-19 page for the latest updates on library services.
Borrowing of physical materials from other institutions is suspended. Requests for electronic articles and book chapters can be submitted. To expedite delivery, please submit no more than one book chapter per request. Requests for copies of entire books should be submitted via purchase request: https://faq.library.upenn.edu/friendly.php?slug=purchaserequest
All loans from other institutions, whether ordered through BorrowDirect, E-ZBorrow or Interlibrary Loan are subject to fines and fees if returned late:
At 28 days overdue the library system will charge your account $160 ($125 + $25 + $10) If the item is returned promptly the fine will be reduced to $35 (late and processing fees).
Returning your loans on time ensures that we maintain good relations with our lending partners.
