Photocopied materials will be automatically mailed to the patron. Many libraries ship photocopies to us in electronic format. We will soon be able to deliver these to you electronically. The loan period is determined by the lending institution and is usually two to three weeks. Renewals of loans are sometimes allowed, and may be requested by using your ILLiad account.
Renewals are at the discretion of the lending library.
Loans must be returned promptly. Failure to return materials on time jeopardizes the General Library's standing with other institutions and makes borrowing much more difficult. Once a book is overdue the patron will receive electronic notices. If a book is overdue by 10 days or more, access to the request forms will be blocked until the overdue material is returned. Any fines and fees assessed by the lending library will be passed along to the patron, along with our own fines.
