<p>So, I recently found out MIT and the ivies all can order books from one another at no cost. Is there anything like that at Duke?</p>
<p>If you mean access to resources, yes. Duke students/staff/faculty are able to access collections of other educational institutions via InterLibrary Loan, or ILL. It’s not confined to MIT/Ivies; you’ll get the resource from wherever would be the quickest. If you needed a book on the way Foucauldian structures have affected the development of Northeastern sports teams (or something equally as specialized), you could ask for it to be delivered, so that you could check it out and use it as a resource.</p>

<p>Duke is also a member of the Triangle Research Libraries Network, which gives us more efficient access to the collections of NCCU, UNC-CH, and NCSU. (Three days from within the TRLN to up to nine within ILL).</p>

<p>oh, thanks!
I was just wondering if the ivy league / MIT library had some exclusive features.</p>
<p>Nope. ILL is a pretty standard feature among most academic institutions, though the depth of their agreements may differ. The four-year directional I attended had ILL as well.</p>
