WHAT IS ILL??

INTER LIBRARY LOAN!!!
We can get ANY book or article you are searching for from another library! It's called ILL and we offer it here at Dublin! We've got some "How-To" documents below if you'd like to learn how to use it, but you can always stop in at the Circulation Desk, call, or email us with any questions or requests for ILL
  • Every week we receive a delivery from the NH State Library van service. We receive deliveries on FRIDAYS.
  • Depending on where your ILL item is coming from, and when we filled the request, it typically takes 1-2 weeks for items to arrive.
  • You will be emailed when your item is ready for pickup!
  • All ILLs should be returned to us. We will send along to the proper library through the ILL system.
  • Remember that we are borrowing from other neighborly libraries, so it is important to take good care of others' property. We do follow State policy and those policies of lending libraries, so if ever there is a damage or lost item, a fee may be accessed based on these factors.
How to use ILL services:
First, you will access our DPL catalog. We recommend logging in straight away as it will be necessary to access any material or information from the catalog.
Next, search for the item you are looking for. Our items ONLY will popup, so don't be dismayed! This next step is where you will search other NH libraries.
'You will click on the "Search Other Libraries" button here. The popup will ask which libraries you want to search, and we advise Selecting All', scrolling to the bottom, and hitting Apply. This may take a few minutes to generate, but once complete, you should see most NH libraries and their physical items owned in their libraries.
Open -- click on -- the title of one of the items you are looking for. This should drop-down and allow you to request the item. Click on "Request This Item". Fill out any information that pops up and submit. YOU'VE DONE IT!
You will be receiving a few separate emails from us once this is done. First, Circulation Staff will receive the book title and other information for ILL. Once submitted on the Staff-end, we will email you with a status update. Second, you will receive an email when the item is received and processed and completely ready for pickup. If it's been a week or so and you haven't heard from us, please send us an email -- DPLcirc@myfairpoint.net -- or call  -- 603-563-8658 -- to get a status update. Thank you!

If you are unable to find ANY library that has the item you are searching for, there is one more thing you can do. Click on 'My Account'. Click on the 'Reserves/Requests' tab. Here you will find the option, "Is my library missing something?" Click here and fill out the information to the best of your ability. We will receive a notification from the system and will do a statewide and worldwide search on our end! We will email you and update you with our findings and status of the request.
