Q. Can Rice students go to another library and borrow books?

Yes, we have an on-site borrowing agreement with several academic institutions. Visit our On-Site ILL page for more information about the program.

COVID-19 Update: The Fondren Library building is closed during this difficult time, with staff working remotely. Due to this, on-site borrowing is temporarily suspended. If you are a member of the Rice community, you may use Interlibrary Loan to borrow electronic resources from other libraries. Interlibrary Loan requests may be made online through the ILLiad system. Questions about Interlibrary Loan may be directed by email to ill@rice.edu.
