Library Hours
Renewing an ILL
We recommend patrons use NExpress for loan requests first because:
- It is faster than ILL, most items arrive in three days.
- An available NExpress book will often arrive faster than recalling a Middlebury book.
- All items are shipped via UPS.
- Patrons are allowed two renewals, making it possible to keep books for an entire term. (Videos have a shorter loan period.)

Information for Vermont Public Libraries and Other Non-OCLC Borrowers
If your institution does not use OCLC and would like to place a request with Middlebury, please try using our ILLiad Lending Web Pages to submit your request. If your library does not yet have an ILLiad account at Middlebury, you may obtain one by contacting the Vermont Department of Libraries ( DOL_ILL_MAIL@dol.state.vt.us ), OR by emailing your request for a username and password from Middlebury's Lending staff ( kschmitt@middlebury.edu ). Please send your contact information (address, phone #, email, etc) along with your inquiry so you may be easily added into our system.
Once you have a username and password, you may submit all of your future ILL requests through our ILLiad Lending Web Pages. For current information regarding our lending policies, please consult our Policies Directory in OCLC, or feel free to contact a staff person directly with any questions.
