Resources for Faculty: Interlibrary Loan

General guidelines to keep in mind as you request items:

• One item for one user
• Temporary loan, subject to recall by the lending library
• Renewals may or may not be possible, based on lending library policy
• Chapter copies are not to exceed more than 10% of the entire work
• Article copies are subject to copyright restrictions
• Entire issues or volumes cannot be borrowed, must request article by article
• ILL items cannot be placed on reserve

One of our primary functions in Dugan Library is connecting researchers to resources.  Interlibrary loan is a powerful tool that we use to supplement the resources we have for faculty and students.

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you request books, journal articles and videos:

• Provide complete citations when possible (especially for journal articles!)
  • We understand this isn't always possible, especially when working from others reference lists
• Long lists of requests will be filled as time allows
  • We receive lots of requests from students and faculty and do our best to get them requested in a timely manner
• You should not lend books/videos that you have requested through ILL to students or other faculty
  • If multiple copies are needed, we can request more than one copy
• You are more than welcome to request "non-academic" items for your personal use, we already have several who do!
• Please return all loaned materials on time, often we can renew, but renewals must be requested before an item is due
