Quick Overview

• Borrowing RIT Library Material
  
  Full-time faculty may have up to 100 items checked out at any one time. These materials have an annual May due date and are subject to recall if other users need them. ALL borrowers pay late recall fines, billed book fees and lost book costs. The library also has leisure material for your use: best-selling books, videos and DVD's. Click here for Borrowing Policies. Avoid fines, learn more....read our Borrowing Policies.
  
  
• Borrowing Books Directly via Connect NY
  
  Connect NY is a combined catalog of 5 cooperating academic libraries offering 7+ million volumes. Current RIT students, faculty and staff may borrow materials from other Connect NY libraries if RIT Library does not own books or our library's copy is a checked-out. Find out more!
  
  
• Information Delivery Services (interlibrary loan)
  
  If RIT Library doesn't have a book or journal article that you need most likely we can get it for you thanks via our interlibrary loan service provided by the Information Delivery Services (IDS) department and requesting is all done online via IDS Express.
  
  
• The ACCESS Card
  
  Another service available to faculty, graduate students and staff needing extensive use of other participating libraries after RIT Library's resources have been fully utilized and exhausted.
  
  Cards are issued to a limited number of faculty, graduate students and professional research staff members.
  
  Those requiring specific titles or those engaged in short term projects are referred to our interlibrary loan service.

RIT Faculty and Staff Bibliography Database (RIT Pub Central)
Have you published? Add yourself to this great RIT resource! The F/S Bibliographic Database was created by RIT Library to provide a central location for the listing of faculty and staff writings. The database will grow as faculty and staff register and input or update their own data.
