Request scanned articles and chapters from Bryn Mawr-owned journals and books through the interlibrary loan form. In lieu of a scan, we may purchase and provide access to an e-book.
Note: it may not be possible to fulfill all requests for scans from volumes that Bryn Mawr does not own, because many libraries are closed to non-affiliates and are able to provide only limited services.

You may have to click “Acknowledge and Agree” after logging in.

Is there a limit to how much of an item I can request?
