Collaborative Access and Borrowing Partnerships: BorrowDirect / Ivies Plus

This guide serves to inform the Dartmouth community about the policies and procedures related to collaborative access and borrowing privileges agreements between Dartmouth and other institutions.

General Information

BorrowDirect member institutions have collaborated to develop an initiative that allows reciprocal access and/or borrowing privileges for faculty, staff and students of participating institutions.  

In addition, Dartmouth-affiliated staff and students are eligible for on-site access and/or on-site borrowing privileges at these same institutions.  If you are planning a visit to one of these libraries, please check with them before traveling to confirm their policies and procedures.

  The  list of participating institutions include: 

  • Brown University
  • Columbia University (including Union Theological Seminary)
  • Cornell University
  • Dartmouth College
  • Duke University
  • Harvard University
  • Johns Hopkins University
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Princeton University
  • Stanford University
  • University of Chicago
  • University of Pennsylvania
  • Yale University

HOW DO DARTMOUTH STAFF AND STUDENTS USE THIS SERVICE?

Who is eligible to use this service?

Current Dartmouth College, faculty, emeritus faculty, students, and staff  who are in good standing with the library will be granted   on-site access and borrowing privileges at participating libraries.

How do you borrow materials at participating libraries?

Eligible Dartmouth and DHMC-affiliated faculty, Dartmouth College staff and students will be required to provide the following upon registration at a participating library:

  • A Dartmouth College photo ID (for both access and borrowing privileges)
  • Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) patrons who have Borrow Direct privileges will present a DHMC ID with a Dartmouth College library barcode number affixed to the back of the ID.  

  • Successful validation as a BorrowDirect user through the Interlibrary Loan login at library service desk (for borrowing privileges)  DHMC eligible patrons will use the library barcode or usernamne to access their Borrow Direct account.

The loan period will be based on local library policies and practices, though loan periods for monographs will typically be at least 28 days. All items should be returned directly to the loaning library.

On-site borrowing account creation and expiration will be set by local policy.  New accounts must be created at the location and within the hours set by each institution.

What kinds of material can be borrowed?

  • Materials eligible to circulate via Borrow Direct are included
  • Other materials in the circulating collections of participating libraries may be accessible as dictated by local policy.

INFORMATION FOR VISITING BORROWDIRECT/IVIES PLUS ID HOLDERS

Who is eligible to use this service?

On-site access and borrowing privileges at Dartmouth College Libraries will be granted to current faculty, emeritus faculty, students, and staff of participating member institutions, who are in good standing with their home library.  Access only does not require any special procedures as our libraries are open to the general public during general/public hours.

How do you borrow materials here at Dartmouth?

Eligible member library faculty, staff and students will be required to provide the following upon registration at Dartmouth’s Baker-Berry Library Circulation Desk:

  • A current Institutional photo ID (for both access and borrowing privileges)
  • Successful validation as a Borrow Direct user by logging into the service through your home library's portal while at Baker-Berry Library Circulation Desk (for borrowing privileges).
  • For Ivies Plus members NOT using Borrow Direct, eligibility can be established by logging in to your home library account while at Baker-Berry Circulation Desk (for borrowing privileges).
  • A library card will be issued for ninety days with renewal available upon re verification of eligibility.

The loan period will be based on our local policies and practices for community guest borrowers, though loan periods for monographs will typically be at least 28 days with unlimited renewals. All materials borrowed from Dartmouth should be returned directly to us.

What kinds of material can be borrowed?

  • All materials currently in our circulating collections will be included, subject to the loan policies and procedures of our varying libraries.
