Eligibility for Services

Only CCSU faculty, staff, and students are eligible for Interlibrary loan services at the Elihu Burritt Library. Community borrowers with guest borrower cards must utilize their town libraries to obtain Interlibrary Loan services.

All Interlibrary Loan requests will be submitted through the CCSU ILLiad system.  New users click here to create set up a new ILLiad account and get started.

For Faculty: Copyright & Fair Use

In an effort to comply with copyright laws, Burritt Library will order up to five articles from any journal title published within the past five years from other libraries. The sixth and any subsequent articles ordered will be purchased from a copyright cleared document delivery service. Burritt Library will pay no more than $500 in copyright fees per faculty member during a given calendar year. Articles requested in excess of this will be returned to the patron.
