Requesting Considerations:

• It is entirely up to the library we are asking for the book or article, as to whether or not to send the item, how quickly to send it (even if it is a "Rush!" request), and how long we can keep it.
• Be sure to keep a copy of the item's bibliographical information, because the form you submit will be retained for our records.
• Only five (5) requests per patron per day will be processed during peak demand times.
• Requests will not be accepted for the following:
• items currently on the shelves of the CSC LRC/Library
• current textbook titles on the CSC Bookstore list
• duplicate item requests from the same patron
• items currently on Reserve in the CSC LRC/Library
• entire issues of periodicals.
• The Library reserves the right to fine for overdue interlibrary loan books, $.50 per day.  If the book is lost, the borrower is responsible for paying any and all costs. 
  Not returning the book or not paying for its loss will result in suspension of CSC Library privileges and the freezing of your student records.

Pickup:

• It takes an average of a week to ten days for items to arrive.
• Arrival times vary, so it is necessary to continue checking for items if several have been requested.
• When they arrive, the requester's name is posted on the board next to the Circulation Desk and notified by telephone, if possible.
• Check your items' due dates when you pick them up and sign the white "AGREEMENT TO RETURN INTERLIBRARY LOAN BOOK" form.
• Loaning libraries often do not allow renewals, so use (and return) your interlibrary item as soon as possible.

Return:

• Return the item to Lou Coatney´s desk (preferably) or the Circulation Desk, with its green tag conspicuous.
• The Carl Sandburg Library reserves the right to FINE for interlibrary loan items not returned on time, $.50 per day per item.
• If the item is lost or damaged, you are responsible for paying any and all costs.
• Not returning the item or not paying for its loss/damage will result in suspension of CSC Library privileges and the freezing of your student records: i.e., no registration for next semester, no grades for this one, and no transcripts!
