Materials not borrowed by OPPL include audiotapes, videotapes, music, genealogy, and reference materials. It takes approximately one week to ten days for in-state material to come in. The ILL or Reference staff will notify the patron by phone when the materials are in and are available to be checked out. If the patron has not been contacted about materials after two weeks, please contact the ILL dept to inquire on the status of the request. The lending library specifies the length of time materials can be kept, usually two weeks.
Patrons can call in a request to renew materials.
Some libraries may not grant renewals and the ILL due date slip in the book will be marked as such. Some exceptions may apply to the loan. These items are usually textbooks, reference type books, film, or expensive multivolume material. Some materials require a deposit before the item is allowed to be checked out. An ILL request is available at the Reference Desk of any of the branches including the Main branch where the department is located.
