Interlibrary Loan Borrowing Operations – EZBorrow & The New Rapido System

Borrowing various information resources from other libraries is a long-standing service that we offer to the Seton Hall community. We offer expanded access to library resources by borrowing or obtaining materials from other libraries. Check the SHU Search first. If we don’t have it, or if the item is checked out or otherwise not available – you can request it!

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is available to Seton Hall students, faculty, and staff for the sake of obtaining non-full text information options not found within our subscription databases or print book stacks.

EZBorrow requests are generally ready for pick-up within 3-5 business days from the date of request, sometimes less. EZBorrow lending is through our consortia agreement with PALCI, which encompasses 80 participating academic institutions. Items are checked out for 112 days with no renewals. Due to the faster turnaround time and standard loan period, EZBorrow is usually the first option.

A helpful update has been made to this process. The University Libraries has installed the Rapido (Primo) system provides one-stop searching for books and e-books, videos, articles, digital media, and more. Seton Hall University Libraries now has two systems for requesting books more efficiently: EZBorrow and Rapido.

Rapido also helps you manage your research once you are signed into this system . . .

  • Renew books and videos
  • Create favorites lists
  • Export citations to RefWorks and Endnote Web platforms
  • View full search results. (Some databases, only show results when you are signed into the University Libraries site)
