Who do I contact about...

Revised Interlibrary loan procedures began March 1, 2006.

Interlibrary loan periods will be extended to the entire loan period allowed by the lending library instead of our usual 2 week check out period. Most lenders allow at least 3 weeks and others up to 6 weeks. We will put the due date that the lender gives us into your record at check out. We will no longer renew interlibrary loan materials.

Interlibrary loan requests will be limited to 3 per borrower at a time. If you have 2 interlibrary loans checked out, we will send in another request for you. Once your loans are returned you may initiate additional requests. We will not accept new requests until after items have been returned. Requests for copies of periodical articles that do not need to be checked out will not be limited.

In cooperation with the lending library we are obligated to return all materials on time. Interlibrary Loan service is a courtesy and a privilege, not a right, and is dependent upon the cooperation of many libraries and their staff. Please help by returning your materials on time. Consistently overdue materials may result in the suspension of interlibrary loan privileges for you and your library.

Items Available are: Audio-Visual Material (availability of tapes, CDs, & videos - may be limited), Books, Photocopies of Newspaper/Magazine/Journal Articles, Limited photocopies of specific portions of non-circulating items. New or currently popular titles will not be available for 6 months to 1 year.

Requested Material Not Needed After (Date):

It may take up to 2 weeks or more for your requested ILL material to arrive. Please let us know the last date that you can use the material.

The Interlibrary loan department will first try to obtain the materials from free suppliers who are members of the Texpress Courier System. If the materials need to be mailed/shipped to us, the borrower will be responsible for the return postage fee. Some libraries may charge a loan or photocopy fee. To help us process your request, please tell us how much you are willing to pay for the material.
