Outside AvenuesThis is a featured page


Sometimes the materials you need are not located in the Potter Library. An alternative avenue you can explore is checking to see what other libraries own.

Where you can look:
  • NJ Libraries
    • If you need a resource and would like to check if a nearby library owns it, try searching the VALE catalog.
  • WorldCat
    • WorldCat connects you to the collections and services of more than 10,000 libraries worldwide.

How you can get what you need:
  • Interlibrary Loan
Step 1. Pick the appropriate form (either book or article) and fill out the required (*) fields.
Step 2. Fill out the online form using your Ramapo Email (it will not be processed without that email address).
Step 3. Submit your form(s).
Step 4. Wait for your item to come in. CAUTION: give yourself time (it can take longer than 2 weeks in some cases)

  • Don't want to wait?
    • Use our our reciprocal borrowing program if the item is located at one of our participating libraries and you are able to get there.
    • How does it work?
Instructions for Ramapo Faculty, staff and students:

1. Fill out a VALE Reciprocal Borrowing Application Form (available from the Library’s Reference desk – 3rd floor).

2. Present the signed application form along with a photo ID at the participating library’s circulation desk. You will be issued borrowing privileges and/or a guest borrower card. Privileges are for one academic year and expire June 30th. To renew your borrowing privileges, you must present a new application form.

3. You will be responsible for complying with the lending library’s circulation policies, including loan periods, overdue fines, recalls, all replacement and processing fees, and for returning all borrowed items directly to the lending library.
