Welcome to Bauder College Library  Tags: scholarships  

Interlibrary Loan is a way of borrowing materials that are not held in Bauder College Library’s collection.

What can be borrowed?

We can attempt to borrow most items that you may need. However, whole issues of journals are rarely lent. Genealogical materials, dissertations, and videos may be difficult to obtain, as well. Due to copyright restrictions, articles may be borrowed once only. Books and other materials needed more than once will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. We do not borrow textbooks for classes.

How do I find items for Interlibrary Loan?

We recommend that you use WorldCat to locate materials. This helps ensure that a library can be found to fill your request. The more citation information you submit with your request the easier it will be to fill. Please do not forget to include page numbers for book chapters, and volume/issue numbers for journal articles.

How do I request an Interlibrary Loan?

To request materials via interlibrary loan, please fill out the ILL Request Form at the bottom of this page and submit it to the Information Desk in the library.

Requestor Responsibilities

Complete and accurate citations will prevent delays in processing. Email is our preferred form of communication, and you will be required to provide an email address when making your request.

Turnaround Time & Delivery

Turnaround time may be a week or more; however, articles often take less time. Please allow us enough time to process your request and receive the item. You will be notified by email when your items arrive. Books are held at the Circulation Desk. Articles may be held at the Circulation Desk, or emailed when possible.

Charges

The Library will absorb most of the charges involved with interlibrary loans. However, some interlibrary loan requests may carry a charge. If your request cannot be filled at no cost to you, we will contact you before submitting the request to the lending library.  Although we charge a standard $70 replacement charge for most lost items, we reserve the right to pass on any additional charges from the lender.

Returning Loans

Loans should be returned to the Circulation Desk. Please be sure to return the label or bookstrap that was attached to your loan. This will help us identify the item. Articles do not need to be returned. In order for us to maintain our relationship with other interlibrary loan offices, all materials need to be turned in on time.

Renewing Loans

Requests for renewals must be submitted before the due date on the ILL label. Renewals can be granted by the lending library only. You may keep the book until we hear from the lending library, at which time we will provide you with the new due date or will request that you return the item if the renewal is denied.
