Information for Graduate & CE Students
One-on-One Consultations: Librarians are happy to work closely with graduate students on their research. We offer one-on-one consultations in person, by phone, Skype, or via virtual conference software. Call us at 401-341-2289 or fill in a research consultation request today.
McKillop Library and HELIN books mailed to you: If you live 40+ miles away and cannot make it to campus, we are happy to mail books to you. Items eligible for shipment are those held by McKillop Library and our HELIN partner libraries.
To request mailing, please search for the material you need in our Online Catalog, place a HOLD for the item and let us know in the notes field that you want the book mailed to you, and lastly email ill@salve.edu to confirm receipt of your request and confirm your mailing address. Please note that HELIN items will take longer as we await their arrival to McKillop Library for mailing.
Mailing Terms and Conditions:Interlibrary Loan items not owned by McKillop Library or HELIN are ineligible for mailing and must be picked up in-person at McKillop Library.
Unfortunately, we cannot mail material outside of the USA unless you are stationed at a US Military base with an APO or FPO. The borrower is responsible for all items from the time they leave McKillop Library to the time they are received back at McKillop Library. The borrower is responsible for return postage. Postage to you is covered by McKillop Library but is deducted from your interlibrary loan allowance. Allowances are based on a 6-month cycle of January-June, July-December and do not carry-over. PhD Candidates: $100, Graduate and Undergraduate: $75.
Interlibrary loan: Distance learners may only use interlibrary loan to request scans from books or journal articles. Physical materials must be picked up in-person at McKillop Library. Please visit our Interlibrary Loan page for additional information on policies and instructions.
Scan and Deliver: If you need one chapter from a book or a journal article from McKillop Library’s print collection, we can scan the material for you. Simply use the Interlibrary Loan Article/Chapter Request Form. We cannot scan whole or large portions of items due to copyright; however, one chapter of a book or a whole journal article is acceptable.
