Interlibrary Loan
is a free service that provides Harper students and staff with access
to materials from other libraries that are also members of the North Suburban
Library System.
Interlibrary Loan Guidelines
There is no limit to the number of requests that a patron may submit.
The following materials
are NOT generally available through Interlibrary Loan:
Interlibrary Loan requests are processed within one working day of submission.
Materials can usually be obtained within ten working days of submission.
Requests for materials held only by out-of-state libraries may take longer.
Patrons will be notified by phone as soon as possible after the requested
item arrives at the library. Patrons may also check on the status of their
requested materials by phone or in person. Patrons will NOT be notified
if requested materials cannot be obtained. Requested materials will be held
at the Circulation desk for three weeks after patron notification.
Fines
Harper patrons who lose their interlibrary materials will be charged
a fee decided upon by the owning library. This often includes the cost of
the book plus a "lost book" fee. Harper students who have lost
their Interlibrary Loan materials may have their grades blocked until restitution
is made. This excludes journal articles that may be kept by the patron free
of charge.
Copyright
Restrictions
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, US Code) governs the
making of photocopies from copyrighted materials. One of the conditions
of the law states that the photocopy cannot be "used for any purpose
other than private study, scholarship or research." Any patron who
requests photocopies for purposes other than the "fair use conditions"
may be liable for prosecution for copyright infringement laws. This institution
reserves the right to refuse any copying request if, in its judgment, fulfillment
of the order would be in violation of copyright law.
