The ILL Services office will not attempt to borrow or obtain entire issues or volumes of periodicals, reference books or rare books, genealogical works, maps, or privately published reports. Frequently the length of time is shorter but it can also be longer. Interlibrary Loan Services will always attempt to borrow or obtain an item for the least cost possible. If the item comes from a Tennessee library or any library with which we have entered into a reciprocal agreement, there will be no charge. In all other cases, there will be a lending or photocopying charge for which the requester is personally responsible.
Payment is required upon receipt of material.
Faculty may not charge payments to their department accounts. Also, if you loose a borrowed item, you are responsible for all costs levied by the lending library. Therefore, should a requested item arrive after it is no longer needed, the requester is still responsible for any charges. MTSU Library currently absorbs this cost. Please check the online catalog, Voyager , carefully before submitting an ILL request.
