Material charged to another borrower. Material on reserve, in microform, or designated non-circulating at UCI libraries. A separate request must be submitted for each article. Audiovisual materials are available on interlibrary loan only from certain UC libraries, and at the discretion of the Media Librarian. Items that potential lenders consider too old, too brittle, or too fragile, or which are located in their reference, reserve or special collections usually are not loaned.
Dissertations are sometimes available for loan.
If unavailable through interlibrary loan, the requester can usually purchase a dissertation directly from University Microfilms International. UMI forms are available at the Reference Desks. When the materials arrive at UCI, requesters are notified by phone, mail or e-mail. Books are usually sent in the original form. Loan periods for most UC books are for one quarter.
