Loan restrictions may apply to some borrowed items. For example, a lending library may supply a book only with the agreement that it be used in the Shain Library. Books can be recalled by the supplying library at any time. If a book is not returned after a recall or an overdue notice, a charge that includes fines and replacement cost is sent by the ILL office to the patron. If the lending library levies a higher fine or replacement costs than the ILL Office, the balance of the charges will be passed on to the patron.
All patrons are subject to the fines and fees imposed by lending libraries.
The service of ILL is based on the generosity and trust between cooperating libraries. The proper treatment and prompt return of the loaned item affect our borrowing privileges from other institutions. Tardiness in returning items, losing books, and poor handling of loaned materials will jeopardize our privileges to borrow from libraries for any current and future Connecticut College patron. Please use all borrowed items with care and respect. To request a book, use the ILL Book Request Form.
