The tremendous national growth during the last 10 years in interlibrary borrowing and lending has placed strains on the ILL system nationwide. As a consequence, patrons should always allow for the possibility of up to a 2 week turn around time for all ILL materials. Voice mail is available at these extensions and they will return your call as soon as possible. Interlibrary loan materials are to be picked up at the Reference Desk. Colored slips are placed in all ILL books and indicate the date by which the book must be returned to the ESU Reference Desk.
Photocopies become the property of the requester.
Patrons are asked to sign their name, the date, and the interlibrary loan number on the ILL Receipt Notepad. This simply indicates to us that the loan has been picked up. Anyone picking up an ILL request for someone else must sign the requester s name followed by their name in parentheses. Any ILL charges must be paid when picking up materials at the Reference Desk. Loan periods are determined by the lending library.
