Discontinued library services
After careful consideration of the current lab situation, the difficult decision was made to stop providing the following services:
- New purchases and Inter-Library Loan (ILL) or Inter-Library Borrowing (ILB)
- Submit work-related requests through your SLAC department.
- Reading Room and Library return cart (B050)
- Please return SLAC library materials to your SLAC department.
- Reference and research services
SLAC and Stanford professional programs (Business, Law, Medicine) are administratively separate from Stanford Libraries, which do not provide ILL or research services to SLAC.
