How do I borrow CRL materials?

Request Service
Log in to request CRL materials through Interlibrary Loan, the service that facilitates borrowing and lending between libraries.

The loan period for CRL items is six months with unlimited renewals. All material may be recalled after two if another member places a request. Borrowers are obligated to return material immediately upon recall. Items with fewer than 50 pages are delivered electronically. You may request fax or photocopy delivery instead.
