Mertz Library The New York Botanical Garden Bronx, New York 10458-5126 Interlibrary Loan Interlibrary loan is an essential element in meeting the increasing demand for information. Since no Library is completely self sufficient in meeting the needs of its patrons, interlibrary loan services are provided to Garden staff. The Library does not attempt to borrow material for the general public since these services can be obtained through local public or academic libraries. Students in affiliated graduate programs should use the interlibrary loan department at their university The interlibrary loan office borrows and lends material through the interlibrary loan subsystem of OCLC and by fax or e-mail using American Library Association (ALA) approved loan forms. The LuEsther T. Mertz Library of The New York Botanical Garden can supply published books from its collections on interlibrary loan to qualified libraries within the United States and Canada only. Copies can be supplied to any library worldwide. The Library does not lend periodicals, oversize books, fragile material or material published prior to 1945.
