On Saturdays and Sundays, library hours and reference hours will be 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Outside of those hours, email refquest@bu.edu with any questions or consultation requests. 
Library Service Update: No Charge for Interlibrary Loan

During the COVID-19 closure and limited reopening hours, the fee for Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services was waived, and after evaluation of ILL usage, staff ability to efficiently fill requests, and the limited income previously generated through these fees, the library has made the decision NOT to resume charging for ILL.

ILL service will be free to BUMC students, faculty and staff and Boston Medical Center. Currently only items that can be delivered electronically (articles and book chapters) can be borrowed through ILL, but they expect to resume print book services in the near future.
 
Please submit requests using the ILL form. 
For questions about ILL service contact aettien3@bu.edu.
