The loan period is determined by the lending library and is usually two to four weeks. Renewals should be requested prior to the due date and are at the discretion of the lending library. Overdue fines and replacement costs are also at the discretion of the lending library and will be forwarded to the requester. Contact the Interlibrary Loan Office to request a renewal, not the Circulation Desk or a Reference Librarian. Books Books borrowed through interlibrary loan should be returned to the Circulation Desk with a check on the book's strap indicating the reader is finished with the book.
Photocopies are for the patron to keep.
Cost Costs vary because fees are set by the lending libraries. Please indicate on the request form the highest fee you are willing to pay or that you wish to be contacted before charges are incurred. Every effort is made to obtain material free of charge or at the lowest fee possible. We do not borrow materials that Vassar owns . If a book is in use, submit a Recall slip at the Circulation Desk.
