Interlibrary Loan (ILL) provides teachers, students and staff with access to books that are checked out or not owned by our own libraries, as well as digitized copies of articles and book chapters from our collection.
Who Can Borrow?
Current students, teachers (including retired) and staff can request items through ILL. Interlibrary loan is not available to former students, guest borrowers or fee-card holders.
How Long Does It Take?
Articles are usually received within 1 - 2 days and books in 5 - 10 days. However, obtaining items that are rare, recently published or in high demand may take longer. To speed up the process, please make sure the information you submit through the ILL Request Form is accurate.
Length of Loans
Loan periods are established by the lending library. All due dates are noted on the label. Borrowed items are subject to recall by the lending library. Any restrictions established by the lending library will be indicated on the label. No renewals (续借) are allowed for physical items borrowed through ILL.
Notification/Delivery Options
For a physical item, you will be notified by email when it arrives. Items are picked up at one of our libraries — the one you selected in the ILL Request Form. For an article or book chapter, you will be notified by email when it is available. To obtain the article or chapter, click on the link provided in the email and log into your ILL account. Once in your account, select Electronic Articles Received.

B篇文章
When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. "You don't want to get fat" was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I'm careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying "I think I'm too fat," my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. "There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I'm not convinced that food is one of them," she says. "It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren't necessarily healthy."
Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the "Division of Responsibility," where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. "When your child says, 'My stomach hurts,' you can say, 'Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,'" says Markey. "Let them feel like they have some control over it."
I've been trying out these strategies and I've found that when I'm less restrictive, they do make better decisions. "Feeding is a long game," says Markey. "The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don't eat it, they're seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks."

沃尔夫的《语言、思维和现实》我们理解了每门语言背后的独特宇宙图景，我们便能意识到：在这个星球上，不存在“落后”的思维，只存在不同的、平等的认知世界的智慧。这种理解，是通往真正人类共情与团结的桥梁。正如他所忧虑的，当世界上某种语言消亡，人类失去的不仅是一套词汇，更是一扇窥见宇宙真相的独特窗口，一种不可再生的思考可能。
