Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service of the
Circulation Department. Its purpose is to obtain materials which are not
available in Pickler Memorial Library and to loan circulating materials
requested by other libraries. Conditions of this service are governed by the
National Interlibrary Loan Code (adopted by the American Library Association)
and the Copyright Law, Title 17, U.S. Code.
Items may also be borrowed directly through the MOBIUS and Avalon Catalogs and have their own set of borrowing policies, see the MOBIUS/Avalon page for details.
Who May Borrow
Interlibrary Loan Services are available to Truman faculty,
students, and staff at no charge. Those holding a valid
Faculty/Staff Designated Guest Card will be charged $5.00 per filled
request. This fee will be added to their Library Account when the
items arrive. Others should use the services of their own public
library.
Loan Periods
The lending library sets the loan period and any restrictions on the
use of the materials. It is important that books are returned
on time to maintain good relationships among libraries.
Renewals
Renewal of Interlibrary Loan materials is subject to the lending
library's policy. To request a renewal, bring the item(s) into the Interlibrary
Loan Office. Requests for renewals should be submitted before the items are
overdue.
Costs
If books are not returned promptly, the user will be billed $120.00
(minimum) for replacement costs. This applies to all users.
Submitting Requests
Faculty, Staff and Students can request items by:
(1) Logging onto Interlibrary Loan Services
(2) Using the "Interlibrary Loan" link in many databases.
Designated Guest card holders can request items by filling out forms through the Library's
Web site.
Inquire at the Library Service Desk for more information.
