91涩漫

How many聽Interlibrary Loan items can I request?

• 91涩漫 students are limited to 5 active Interlibrary Loan requests. Once an article is received, the request is no longer active; one a book is returned, the request is no longer active.
• 91涩漫 faculty are limited to 10 active Interlibrary Loan requests.
• Community Borrowers do not have Interlibrary Loan privileges with the college but may use the local public library for Interlibrary Loan requests.

How will I know when my聽Interlibrary Loan items have arrived?

When a book arrives, you will be notified through your 91涩漫 email account. Items are kept at the Circulation Desk in the Library. Most articles are scanned and you will be sent an email with a URL where you can retrieve them. Articles not available electronically will be sent in hard copy to the Circulation Desk and an email will be sent to your 91涩漫 email account when it arrives.

How long do聽Interlibrary Loan items take to arrive?

• Books: Turnaround time varies greatly depending on the type of material, the location of the lender, etc. Allow ample time (a week or more) to ensure that you will get your materials.
• Articles: Most articles are available from the University of Minnesota and are sent electronically. These are generally available within 2-3 days. Other articles (not owned by U of M) will take longer.

Requests are processed within 24 hours Monday through Friday with the exception of unusual or hard-to-find material. All requests are treated as priority. Materials are always ordered from local libraries if possible. The 鈥渘eed-by鈥� date does not speed up processing of requests. It tells us how long we should keep looking for items not readily available.

Borrower’s Responsibilities

The person whose Library Barcode appears on the聽Interlibrary Loan聽request is responsible for lost, damaged, or overdue materials. Lending libraries, not 91涩漫, determine the amount of time you can borrow the materials and they also determine replacement costs and late fees. The borrower is responsible for the prompt return of聽Interlibrary Loan materials. Overdue items will result in a block for future聽Interlibrary Loan聽requests.

A late fee of $5.00 is assessed for items not returned by their due date. Once 91涩漫 Library is billed and pays the invoice you will no longer be able to return item/items. A hold will be placed on your student records for the amount of the invoice the Library receives from the lending library plus a $10.00 fee assessed by the 91涩漫 Library.

91涩漫 Borrowing Restrictions

Libraries participate in Interlibrary Loan voluntarily. Access to another library鈥檚 materials is a privilege not a right. Each library determines which materials it will and will not lend. Some materials are not available through聽Interlibrary Loan聽and cannot be requested. These restricted materials include:

• Textbooks
• Reference books
• Materials available at the 91涩漫 Library, unless declared Lost or in repair
• Full-text articles available through the library databases (EBSCO, Gale, etc.)

91涩漫 Library Lending Restrictions

• 91涩漫 Library does not lend items from Reference or from the Instructional Media collection.
• 91涩漫 does not lend current license exam review materials as they are in high demand with 91涩漫 patrons.

Copyright Restrictions

91涩漫 must adhere to copyright law. Most books are available through Interlibrary Loan. Photocopies of journal/magazine articles are available subject to copyright restrictions. Copyright restricts any library to request no more than one article from the same issue of any journal/magazine published in the last 5 years during one calendar year. Therefore, 91涩漫 Library can request no more than 5 articles from the same journal/magazine published in the last 5 years.

A late fee of $5.00 is assessed for items not returned by their due date. Once 91涩漫 Library is billed and pays the invoice you will no longer be able to return item/items. A hold will be placed on your student records for the amount of the invoice the Library receives from the lending library plus a $10.00 fee assessed by the 91涩漫 Library.
