The Rensselaer Libraries attempt to obtain materials without cost
to researchers whenever practical either by seeking gratis use
of materials from other libraries or by subsidizing most of these costs
for Rensselaer faculty, staff and students.
The Libraries also provide a special subsidy program, called Research
Express, for Rensselaer faculty, research staff and graduate students
enabling them individually to order copies of journal articles from the
Ingenta Company that are not available directly from Rensselaer resources.
Undergraduates needing materials from Ingenta must route requests to the
Libraries' interlibrary loan service.
How much will it cost?
Although most book loans between libraries as well as photocopies
of journal articles supplied within the Capital District can be provided
without charge, the costs of materials obtained outside of the Capital District
occasionally may exceed library subsidies. Researchers can specify the amount
they are willing to pay for a document by entering a dollar value in the
"Max Cost" field of a request at the time of submission. Recommended amounts
are:
- $10.00 per book or journal request
- $14.50 per US thesis
- $45.00 per non-US thesis
- $30.00 per technical report, technical standard
Researchers may indicate they only want a document on a gratis
basis by entering "0" in the "Max Cost" field.
How to pay for items?
Researchers need to create "account information" within the Libraries' ILLiad
system in order to indicate how they will pay for a possible charge by using
the EDIT/CREATE ACCOUNTS option located at the bottom of ILLiad's Main Menu
screen.
Researchers who prefer to pay for charges by cash or check at the time
of pick up must also create an account in ILLiad for this purpose by entering
the word, "Cash," in place of an account number. Researchers authorized
to use research or departmental funds should enter these codes as their
ILLiad account numbers. Graduate and undergraduate students may specify
to have charges added to their tuition accounts by entering the word,
"Bursar, in place of an account number.
What's not subsidized?
Document subsidies are not provided to employees of companies located
in either Rensselaer's Incubator Center or Rensselaer Technology Park
who are not otherwise affiliated with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Library subsidies do not cover "Rush" handling or off-campus delivery
costs. Researchers may be charged for supply costs of unclaimed materials.
