Borrow Beyond Trico

The Interlibrary Loan Office is CLOSED from December 17, 2025 until January 5, 2026.

ILL and EZ-Borrow requests will not be processed until the week of January 5, when the libraries reopen and our lending partners have resumed services.

  • Request journal articles or book chapters via Interlibrary Loan. These materials are delivered electronically.
  • Request print books and other physical loan materials via EZ-Borrow (books only) or Interlibrary Loan (for books and items that are not available from EZ-Borrow).
  • Use the Suggest a Purchase form if you think the libraries should add your request to the collection.

Email interlibraryloan@swarthmore.edu with any questions.

FAQs:

  • EZ-Borrow: Use your Swarthmore credentials (email address) to place requests.
  • Interlibrary Loan: First-time users need to create an account using their Swarthmore credentials before placing a request.
  • Return materials at any circulation desk or via outdoor drop boxes.
