The circulation desk can be reached at 831 647-4134 . Through interlibrary loan the MIIS Library can borrow specific materials from other libraries or procure items from document supply services. Interlibrary loan service is available to current MIIS students, faculty and staff only. Requests for loans are limited to materials which the MIIS Library does not own. Loan periods are determined by the lending library.
Most libraries allow a month loan on books and shorter terms on other kinds of items.
For some articles an ILL fee is necessary due to unusually high charges levied by the lending institution. Users are asked in advance on the ILL submission form the maximum amount that they are willing to pay. A separate electronic form for each item must be filled out. A maximum of seven open requests at one time per patron is allowed. An open, returnable request is not closed until the returnable item has been delivered to the MIIS Library for return to the lending library.
