A patron may place a request at the circulation desk, at the reference desk, via email, or over the telephone. Forms are available for placing a request. A reference staff member will transfer the appropriate information to a standard interlibrary loan form. Requests for photocopies must include indication of compliance with the U.S. Copyright Law. D. Turnaround Time Service will be provided as quickly as possible.
Turnaround time varies depending upon the lending library and the materials requested.
Patrons will be notified by telephone or by mail if the patron does not have a telephone available. The library will strictly observe any conditions for use of loaned materials that are imposed by a lending library. The library will not charge its patrons a fee for borrowing via interlibrary loan. If the lending library specifies that it requires costs for photocopies or mailing a particular requested material, patrons will be consulted about their willingness to pay before materials are borrowed. The library will endeavor to collect any charges for overdue materials, loss, or damage from the patron who received the materials.
