Question:

I'm a Distance Learner. Can I have my ILL request mailed to me?

Our answer:

FSU scholars who live beyond 50 miles of the FSU Tallahassee Main Campus area are Distance Learners. While we can’t ship physical materials to individuals, Distance Learners still have access to some of our Resource Sharing services, including the following: 

Distance Learners and Resource Sharing 

  • ILL requests for articles and book chapters within copyright
  • Walk-in reciprocal privileges at universities and colleges in the State University System of Florida and the Florida College System through UBorrow (FSUID card required)

More Resources

Scholars may reach out to their subject librarian directly for assistance with locating alternative formats or securing a supplemental resource. Search for your subject in the directory at the following link to locate their contact information: Academic Liaison and Research Specialist Directory.
