For example, when lending a rare or valuable book, a library may specify that it must be used only in the borrowing library building. Rarely do libraries lend periodicals. However, most libraries will provide photocopies of the articles, in lieu of loan, which then become the property of the requesting individual. The WSU Libraries reserve the right to determine if a loan or a photocopy should be requested. Interlibrary Loan provides three levels of service from which to choose.
Basic service puts the request in the normal workflow.
Turnaround time averages ten days to two weeks. If the material takes longer to come and is still needed, the cost drops to the Level 1 fee. If the material takes longer to come and is still needed, the fee drops to the Level 2 or 1 fee according to the length of time it takes to get the material. When filling out a request form, please print clearly or type the information required or provide a photocopy of your reference. List a complete bibliographic citation including author, title and date, with volume and page numbers if appropriate.
