The Information Delivery & Library Access (ID&LA) area provides information service assistance and enables access to Barker, Dewey, Hayden (Humanities & Science), and Rotch libraries. ID&LA staff work to make the MIT Libraries' collections as useful as possible by providing electronic or physical delivery of content from library collections.

Services offered by ID&LA include:

• Article and book delivery from the Library Storage Annex
• Course Reserves (electronic readings in Stellar or print items available for short term loan)
• Delivery of MIT Theses and Publications
• Interlibrary Borrowing
• Interlibrary Loan to non-MIT institutions
• Privileges for borrowing or access to MIT Libraries and non-MIT Libraries such as Borrow Direct or Harvard Libraries
• Your Account requests (placing recalls, holds, Faculty Book Delivery)
• Contact circulation@mit.edu with questions about library fines, getting items in the MIT libraries collections, access to non-MIT libraries
• The Circulation FAQ provides answers to many questions about borrowing and returning library materials

• Ask us via email: we'll get back to you ASAP
   
• Expert librarians: smart people who know the info in your field
• Research consultations: we'll connect you to the right librarian

Email and chat (via Ask Us) are generally the most effective ways to get help and contact staff since many are working remotely, and even staff on campus are often on the move and away from their phones.
