Submission of an official Interlibrary Loan request indicates the requester's recognition of and agreement to comply with copyright laws and guidelines governing duplication of materials for interlibrary loan. Requests that exceed these guidelines will be returned to the requester who will be referred to the Information Desk to seek alternate sources of information. Inaccurate requests or requests for materials in conflict with the University's ILL policies will also be rejected. Iinterlibrary loan services may be suspended for any borrower who abuses this privilege by repeatedly damaging or losing materials, failing to return items on time, or who does not pay incurred fines and charges. Processing of ILL requests for undergraduate students is suspended two weeks before the end of each regular term.
Lending libraries determine any restrictions regarding the use of their materials.
Most requests are filled within one to two weeks. About a week after submitting your request you may wish to inquire at the Information Desk and see if your materials have arrived. When the material arrives , the borrower is notified either by campus mail, e-mail, or by telephone. Distance Learning participants living an hour or more from campus will receive their materials directly by mail, fax, or courier service. Photocopies become the property of the requester.
