What are the alternatives to interlibrary loan?
• In some instances, you may prefer to go directly to the library which owns the material. WorldCat lists books and magazines available locally and around the world. • Although most area libraries will allow a visitor to use materials on-site and to make photocopies, you will not be able to check them out. However, current RIT faculty and graduate students (but not undergraduates) may apply for a RRLC Access Card at The Wallace Center’s Reference Desk which can be used to check-out material at many local college and special libraries. For further information about the RRLC Access Program, contact the Information and Education Services Department . • This library also provides access to a number of databases that contain full-text electronic journals and other full-text content which you can access at no charge. A Reference Librarian will assist you in using any of these sources.
