Library material not owned
by the Grace Hauenstein Library may be borrowed from
other libraries via InterLibrary Loan (ILL). This service
is provided free to all students, faculty and staff. On rare
occasions there may be costs involved to obtain some ILL materials.
Arrival
Times for ILL Materials
Usually your request will arrive within seven to ten days
from the day of your request, sometimes
sooner, sometimes longer, so plan ahead! You will be contacted
as soon as your item arrives.
Picking-Up ILL Materials
Your ILL request will be held at the Circulation Desk.
Costs of ILL
Should you damage or lose an ILL item, you will be held responsible for its replacement or repair. Overdue fines also apply to these items, so return them on time!
The ILL staff makes every effort to
get the material you want. Some items, though, are seldom
loaned via ILL. These include: textbooks, rare books and archival
material; some audio-visuals; entire issues or volumes of
periodicals (although individual articles are available);
genealogical manuscripts; most reference books and some dissertations/theses. Textbooks cannot be borrowed
via ILL.
Any further questions, please ask a Reference Librarian, or contact Jeanine Weber at weberjea@aquinas.edu or (616) 632-2128.
