(https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) Study Tip of the Week Get-it Services If the source is available at Harvard… Search HOLLIS to see if the source that you are looking for is available. If the source is online, it’s just a click away! If Harvard instead has a physical copy, you can find it yourself in the library, or request that it be delivered to the circulation desk of the library of your choice. If the source is unavailable at Harvard… Sometimes, a source that you want may be unavailable at Harvard—either because it is not owned by the Harvard Library, or because another patron has checked it out. However, you may still be able to get the source from a partner institution: * BorrowDirect (https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) allows you to request items from other partner university libraries and receive the items in about 4 business days; * Interlibrary Loan (https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) allows you to borrow from other libraries, including public libraries. Requests may take up to 2 weeks. Paid Opportunity: Peer Research Fellow (PRF) for House Do you love Harvard Libraries? Do you enjoy helping others find useful information?
