What is Resource Sharing?
Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD) Library’s Resource Sharing service is an enhanced service offering for its patrons. This is an online interlibrary loan service / digital document delivery service that complements SUTD Library’s existing services. It allows patrons to request for chapter/pages of books (following existing copyright laws) and/or articles, that SUTD Library does not have in its collection, from participating libraries around the world.
Who can access to this Resource Sharing Service?
This service is available to all SUTD full-time staff (academic & non-academic) and students (undergraduates & postgraduates). The patron must have a SUTD EASE account.
When should I use Resource Sharing Service?
It is recommended that you perform a search in SUTD’s Library Catalogue and SUTD’s eResources first before requesting through Resource Sharing Service.
How long does it take for my request to be fulfilled?
A typical borrowing request usually takes up to three working days to be fulfilled. If it does not, please allow up to two weeks or nine working days for the request to be fulfilled.
What if I do not receive any response after 2 weeks?
Please approach our staff at the SUTD Library to check on your request. Please also check if there is any notification in your email's junk folder.

Can I request for more than a chapter of a book?
