Q: Where can I find information on the status of my BorrowDirect Requests?
Answered by: Laura Galas

You can check the status of your BorrowDirect requests through the library's portal for Resource Sharing: BorrowDirect, Interlibrary Loan, and other Services.

Here are some details of statuses you may see:

"Request sent for fulfillment in BorrowDirect. Awaiting response from potential lending libraries." This status means that your request has been submitted in the BorrowDirect system. We are waiting for potential lending libraries to check whether the item is available and to send us their response.

"Request sent to potential suppliers." This status means your request has been sent to libraries that may be able to lend the item. This status indicates we are waiting for a response from potential lending libraries.

"Checking additional potential suppliers." This status means we have checked BorrowDirect libraries and there were no copies available. We are going to look for potential lending libraries outside of BorrowDirect (through interlibrary loan services).

If you have any questions about the status of your BorrowDirect or other resource sharing requests, please contact us at borrowing@yale.edu
