Interlibrary loan
The ILL department at Dickinson shares resources regionally, nationally and internationally. We borrow over 14k resources for Dickinson patrons and lend over 11k resources annually. Your work here allows you to contribute to “scholarly conversation” by facilitating the sharing of resources in research and artistic communities. Your work is critical to our ability to maintain our high level of service and high ratings on campus and in the resource sharing community. Thank you for participating.
Based on when you’re scheduled to work, you may have differing job duties. These include scanning and delivering articles, processing outgoing books, pulling books or periodicals, packing mail, opening mail, processing incoming mail for our patrons.
