Borrow Direct is a service of the libraries of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn, Princeton, and Yale. Through Borrow Direct, you can search a combined catalog of these seven libraries and request books not currently available at Yale.

Most books will be available for pickup within four business days, and you can designate one of six Yale libraries as the pickup location. You must provide a Yale e-mail address to utilize the Borrow Direct system and you will receive automatic email notices to track the status of each request.

Borrow Direct books are loaned for 30 days with NO RENEWALS.

Login instructions: The first login you will see requires your NetID and password. The second login asks for your Yale ID followed by the number 1 (e.g., 1234567891). If your Yale ID card has been replaced one or more times, add the number 2, 3, etc. (e.g., 1234567892).
