ILL Policy INTERLIBRARY LOAN POLICY I. DEFINITION An interlibrary loan (ILL) is a transaction in which library materials, or copies of materials or resources are made available by one library to another library upon request. II. III. PURPOSE The purpose of interlibrary loan, as defined herein, is to provide access to library resources not available within individual libraries. SCOPE A. Resources (e.g. print, non-print, film, CDs, serials, cassettes, fiche) may be requested from another library through the School Library System in accordance with the established standard loan period of four (4) weeks or less, including delivery time, at the discretion of the lender. B. The following types of materials will ordinarily not be loaned but could be available by special arrangement. 1. Rare, unique or valuable materials that would be difficult or impossible to replace. 2. Bulky or fragile items which would create shipping problems. 3. Resources in demand at the lending library. 4. Resources with district and/or building restrictions (e.g. reference books). 5. Books published within the past 12 months may not be available for Interlibrary Loan through the School Library System because of lenders loaning policy 6. Requests for multiple copies of one title will be honored at the discretion of the lending library. 7. The lending library may limit the number of items loaned pertaining to a single subject. C. The loan of any resources will be left to the discretion of the school library media specialist (LMS) at all times. IV. COPYRIGHT COMPLIANCE The copyright law shall be adhered to at all times. Please refer to the section on Copyright Guidelines. V. TYPES OF REQUESTS OURS (Online Union Resource Sharing) provides school-to-school interlibrary loans for members in CoSer 572.

ILL Policy Participants will need a user name/password to access the service. There are two main types of requests and various methods to complete these transactions. A. Two Main Types Of Requests: 1. SCHOOL-TO-SCHOOL LOANS (ILL): SLS encourages the use of electronic ILL requests. If the item is located using OURS, an online request should be made using the Request ILL function on OURS. Those not participating in CoSer 572-2 should complete requests via email or telephone directly to the lending library. 2. EXPANDED INTERLIBRARY LOAN (EILL): If items are not found in OURS they may be ordered through the Expanded ILL Service. This is a fee-based service for participating districts in CoSer 572-2A. The expanded interlibrary loan component includes verification and solicitation of books, periodicals and audiovisual resources from sites outside the jurisdiction of Onondaga-Cortland-Madison County component school districts. These sites include: New York State Library, Onondaga Public Library, academic, public or special libraries within the United States. The SLS will provide resources from international locations when appropriate. If you use the interlibrary loan services from the SLS office, this service is appropriate. Expanded ILL requests should be sent to the Interlibrary Loan clerk at SLS. These requests should be made by email, fax or BOCES delivery, not by telephone unless there is a question regarding verification. EILL requests require the following information: Books: title, author, format, copyright date, publisher and the requesting school s school code. An ISBN or LC number is helpful. Periodical Articles: name of publication, volume, number, date, pages, article title, author, and the requesting school s school code. An ISSN number is helpful. Non-print resources (as many of the following as possible): format; publisher, title, copyright date, ISBN, running time, and requesting school s school code Copyright guidelines regarding interlibrary loans are located in the Copyright section of this manual. B. Methods Available To Complete These Requests LMS staff first verifies the request in OURS to determine which libraries hold the needed item(s). All interlibrary loan requests from students, faculty and staff must be submitted by school library personnel in the building/district requesting the loan. 1. An electronic interlibrary loan form is provided for school-to-school transactions. Please refer to ILL Procedures for explanations of the process. 2. The SLS listserve can be used for more than 5 multiple copies. However, borrowers must use all procedures that will increase the efficiency of these type of requests and eliminate unnecessary steps for lenders. (ex titles, grade level, quantity, not needed after dates, etc.) Lenders may want to confirm request with borrower before processing these loans to avoid unnecessary duplication.

Telephone requests should be considered only as a secondary option to electronic requests or in the case when ILL verification is needed. VI. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BORROWING LIBRARY A. Responsibilities Specific To School-To-School (ILL) Loans 1. The borrowing library and its users must comply with the conditions established by the lending library and/or SLS. 2. The borrowing library must first verify that the material is not available from its own collection (OPAC). 3.

Database subject searches are considered part of Expanded Interlibrary Loan (EILL) services. 4. The borrowing library is responsible for the safety of all resources borrowed from other libraries. If the borrowing library permits users to use the resources outside the borrowing library, the borrowing library is responsible for: a. Charging the materials out in a verifiable manner. b. Soliciting the prompt return of resources on or before the due date via established delivery service. 5. The borrowing library is responsible for reporting damaged and/or lost materials to the lending library and/or the OCM School Library System as soon as possible. The borrowing library/school district will assume the financial responsibility of replacing lost or damaged resources. 6. The borrowing library will keep statistical records of all school-to-school interlibrary loan requests and transactions, in a manner specified by the School Library System. Copies of these statistics will be submitted upon request to the SLS on a semi-annual basis. Refer to Appendix section for a copy of this form. B.

A processing fee for SLS handling of EILL replacements will be added to the replacement cost. F. The lending library will keep statistical records of all school-to-school interlibrary loan requests and transactions, in a manner specified by the School Library System. Copies of these statistics will be submitted upon request to the SLS on a semi-annual basis. Refer to Appendix section for a copy of this form.
