Find It @ Tufts and Elsewhere

Not only will the Find IT @ Tufts button help you find what we own, it will also help you to order your article from another library through the Interlibrary loan (ILLiad) service. 

Books Beyond Tufts

To locate books in other libraries when we either don't own them or our copy is checked out, use BLC WorldCat. Once you've found the book you want, use the BLC request form or ILLiad to request the book be delivered to Tisch.  The book will be delivered to the Tisch Library circulation desk within two to five days and you will be notified by email when it arrives. There is no charge for this service.

BLC WorldCat

Libraries in the Boston Library Consortium

Anyone student can get a Boston Library Consortium card from the Circulation Desk of Tisch Library.  Check out the libraries' individual websites for more information.

It will allow you to check books out from any of these libraries.  HELPFUL HINT: if you are running out of time and don't have time to request it from Interlibrary Loan, you can go there and check it out!

Please note: The Boston Public Library is no longer a member but all full-time students can get a BPL card.
