NMRLS Interlibrary Loan services include mediated ILL within and outside
the region and journal article supply from the Boston
Public Library's ILLIAD document delivery service.
NMRLS provides Regional ILL services through contracts with ILL Centers at the
North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE), Danvers and the Memorial Hall Library
in Andover. Regional ILL Centers are available to all NMRLS members. If you would
like to request an interlibrary loan please contact them or visit their
web sites for further information and instructions for using their services.
To determine which ILL
center your library should use, please consult the regional ILL center page.

New Regional ILL policies effective November 1st, 2006.
Shipping fees for Libraries removed!
The NMRLS Executive Board approved a change to regional ILL
Policies as per recommendation of the ILL Centers at Memorial Hall
and NOBLE. Fees for return shipping have been removed to
eliminate this as a barrier to resource sharing. If a borrowing
library uses the ILL Centers to return items, the ILL Centers will
pay any shipping charges to return those items. The borrowing
library will not be billed for return shipping if they use an ILL
Center.

NMRLS recognizes that no individual library has the resources available to meet all user needs.
Thus interlibrary loan is an essential service. ILL supplements and expands local collections and removes many geographic and economic barriers for patrons.
NMRLS encourages borrowing and lending between libraries of all types in the Region.
