Reference librarians are available during most library hours to provide assistance. Through cooperative agreement, our libraries may obtain some materials at no charge. In the event where a charge is necessary, requesters are asked to indicate the maximum amount they are willing to pay on the request form. If this space is left blank, the maximum amount is assumed to be zero and only non-charging lenders will be contacted. Additional costs will be accrued if the material is overdue, lost, or damaged.
Lending libraries determine any conditions regarding the use of their materials.
We recommend that you plan ahead when you need your Interlibrary Loan materials to be available within a specific timeframe. The time taken for obtaining interlibrary loan materials varies depending on the type of materials requested, the geographical location of the lending libraries, and the volume of Interlibrary Loan requests we are processing at the time. The libraries cannot promise a specified date. Please consider a frame of one to two weeks as normal for obtaining Interlibrary Loan materials through mail delivery. For a photocopy of an article delivered electronically, the average time varies from 2-5 days.
