Login Help
The interlibrary loan service is available to our borrowers. If you're not sure if you are eligible, contact us. There are different login methods depending on your affiliation.
If you are affiliated with Dartmouth Health Lebanon and don't have a NetID, or Library barcode, you will need to register for ILL before you can begin borrowing.
Dartmouth NetId
If you are an active student, faculty, Dartmouth College staff member, or recent alum, you have a NetId. If you don't know your NetID, you can look it up. You can also reset your password.
If you need additional technical support surrounding your NetID and password, contact Information, Technology and Consulting or Geisel Computing.
Library Barcode or Username
If you do not have a NetID, but have borrowing privileges, you can use interlibrary loan by signing in with your library barcode and password.
If you don't know your password, you can reset it.
