• SUNY Maritime College students, faculty, and staff may request materials through inter-library loan (ILL) that are not available in the Stephen B. Luce Library’s collection.
• Requests for ILL materials must be submitted electronically via ILLIAD

• Users are required to pay any charges or fees incurred by the Library for borrowed ILL materials.
• Borrowers assume financial responsibility for ILL items which are lost, damaged, or late.
• Failure to pay any fines, fees, or charges will result in a block being placed on the borrower’s library record. Additionally, if the borrower is a student, a charge will be posted against a student’s account .
