As state employees, NJDOT users are eligible to register for a library card (borrower card) from the New Jersey State Library (NJSL). The card will allow the user to borrow material from the NJDOT Research Library or NJSL.
NJDOT users may request materials from the New Jersey State Library (NJSL) in several ways:
Make a request through the through the NJSL catalog (with a user’s library card number and PIN)
NJSL materials may be picked up at the NJSL in Trenton or at the NJDOT Library in the Main Office Building in Ewing. Materials may also be sent directly to the user’s office upon request.
A library card is also needed to request “interlibrary loan” work-related books and articles from U.S. libraries other than NJDOT or NJSL.
For instructions on requesting interlibrary loan materials online, see the NJSL website. New or technical materials, textbooks, and examination/test books may not be available via interlibrary loan.
The NJDOT Librarian can help users determine if the material will likely be available via interlibrary loan and can help request the item for the user. NJSL staff will keep the user updated on the status of the request, or the user can check the ILLiad portal.
