Interlibrary Loan Policies & Procedures
Students, faculty and community members may easily obtain resources from other libraries. You can check the Kansas Library Catalog for holdings from libraries across Kansas, or simply give the librarian the information you have.

Time Required
Most interlibrary loans take between 5 to 10 days. We participate in the Kansas Library courier service, which sometimes speeds delivery, but if an item is checked out in the home library it may take longer. Please keep this in mind when making your request.

Notification
The Interlibrary Loan staff notifies borrowers by phone or e-mail when their requests have been received. ⋅ Picking Up Materials Pick up borrowed materials at the circulation desk.

Returning and Renewing
Return borrowed materials to the circulation desk. Many lending libraries will not make interlibrary loan renewals; if so, we cannot accept requests for renewals. Failure to return material by the due date will suspend future ILL borrowing privileges.

Financial Responsibility
Lost materials, damaged materials, and overdue fines are the responsibility of the borrower.

You may use this card to access eBooks and audio book through the Kansas State library website. Some databases may request a card as well.
