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. Although every attempt will be made to request audiovisual materials, many libraries do not lend these materials. Costs Interlibrary Loan 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 may 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. Renewing Books Renewals of ILL materials should be requested only in unusual circumstances.
