What can I get? - Libraries generally will lend materials from
their circulating collections or provide copies of journal articles or
conference papers. Libraries do not lend reference books, dissertations,
archival materials, or journals. Videos, sound recordings and new books
also are not available for interlibrary loan.
How Long Does It Take? - Many books, technical reports, copies
of journal articles and conference papers as well as govenment documents
can be obtained locally with 5 - 10 days. Materials requested from libraries
outside of the Capital District typically are supplied within 2 -3 weeks.
Researchers should allow for 6 -8 week delivery of books requested after
mid-November because of holiday mail volume.
What are the "Rules of Use?" - Researchers using the materials
borrowed from other libraries must comply with the conditions of use set
by the lending institution. Researchers obtaining copies of journal articles
or other copyrighted material must also compy with US Copyright Law and
and associated "FAIR USE" guidelines. For details about borrowing policies,
