Ithaca College & Cornell On-site Borrowing Program

We strongly urge you to check ahead of time with the desired partner library that you would like to visit to make sure they are open and operational. See Hybrid library for a hybrid semester: COVID-19 updates for the latest information on library services. Since visitors are not allowed on Cornell’s campus, we are unable to extend reciprocal borrowing privileges to patrons from other institutions.

What is the Ithaca College & Cornell On-site Borrowing Program?

Cornell students, faculty and staff can check out materials on-site at Ithaca College!
