standard interlibrary codes and 

practices when providing loans and 

photocopies and charges a fee, if 

applicable, for this service. To request a 

loan or photocopy, institutions must 

provide a written request to NAL using 

either NAL’s Web-based online request

include the name, address, and

provide a statement acknowledging 

copyright compliance, bibliographic 

information for the material they are

material. The collected information is 

used to deliver the material to the 

requesting party, bill for and track 

payment of applicable fees, monitor the 

return to NAL of loaned material, 

identify and locate the requested 

material in NAL collections, and
