What is the cost for an
inter-library loan?

free service to the Georgetown College community. However, Ensor LRC is

prudent when making requests.

How
long can I keep the item?
The loan period for books, microform, and non-photocopy material is
determined by the lending institution. Usually, the loan period is four weeks.
Renewals may be requested by contacting the Interlibrary Loan Department before the
due date. Items can be renewed only once.
Institutions that loan materials, including Georgetown
College, reserve the right to recall items at any time.

How long will it take to get my
inter-library loan request?
Please allow three weeks to receive your request. For some items, it may
take longer.

Where do I pick it up?
Photocopies of journal articles will be sent through campus mail or U.S. mail and do not need to be
returned. Books, microform and other non-photocopy materials must be picked up at
the Circulation Desk. Users will be notified by campus mail or by phone when a
requested item has been received or if there are any problems filling a request.
Items that are not picked will be returned to the lending library.
Please return books, microforms and other non-photocopied materials
to the
Circulation Desk.

Can I get
dissertations?
Often, dissertations are only available at the issuing institution.
Not all libraries will loan them. There is no
certainty that a request for a dissertation can be filled or that you will
receive it in a timely manner. The Interlibrary-Loan Manager can usually determine the lending policy of the institution
that holds the dissertation.

The copyright law of the United States (title 17,
United
States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of
copyrighted material.
Under certain conditions specified in the law,
libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or reproduction. One
of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be
"used for a purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research."
If an individual uses a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in
excess of "fair use" that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
This institution reserves the right to refuse to
accept a copying order if, in it's judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve
violation of copyright law.
