All requests should be processed within a twenty-four hour period. Loan Period OCLC books are loaned for a period of four weeks. Renewals are granted for two weeks if the item is not in demand. If it is not returned two weeks after it is recalled, the borrowing library should be contacted by telephone or e-mail about the overdue book. Renewals are usually permitted.
Photocopies become the property of the requester and therefore have no due date.
No handling charges or fees will be assessed for any interlibrary loan request. If it is determined that an item has been lost, an invoice will be sent to the borrowing library. If an item is damaged beyond repair, it will be treated in the same fashion as a lost book. The borrowing library should be notified that an invoice for the cost of the damaged item will be sent. Because the LSCC Library does not charge a fee for books or photocopies sent to other libraries, reciprocal borrowing agreements are usually accepted and complied with.
