Interlibrary Loan : Borrowing Materials
from Other Libraries
If
the Library does not own the material that you need and you are a Huntington
reader or staff member, the Library will try to borrow it from another library
on interlibrary loan. You may
request books, dissertations, theses, microforms, xerox copies of periodical
articles, audio-visual materials, and CD-ROMs.
Generally, libraries will not lend rare books, manuscripts, or bound
periodical volumes.
Interlibrary
loan usually takes from 2 to 6 weeks, depending upon the availability of an
item from a lending library. On
rare occasions, a lending library may charge for a loan.
The charge will be passed on to you.
Readers with long term fellowships may use their photocopy stipends
to defray the cost of loans.
Interlibrary
loans may be requested after consultation with Jill Cogen, the Reference Librarian,
in the Reader Services Department. Materials
should be picked up from Mr. Robert Maine, Library Assistant, in the Photographic
Services Department.
Borrowed
items must be used in the Library.
The
length of loans is determined by the lending library and is usually not less
than two weeks. Most lenders
will permit renewals. Renewals
must be requested from Mr. Robert Maine in the Photographic Services Department
one week before the material is due.
