Eligible Interlibrary Loan UsersOnly the following user groups have Interlibrary Loan (ILL) privileges:
Limited to the above user groups, ILL requests must be for material in support of classroom teaching, research, studies, or other NPS mission-related tasks. Loan Periods (for most circulating items)
NOTE: Loan periods for Interlibrary Loan items are determined by the lending library and may vary from two to four weeks. Eligible Interlibrary Loan users are required to abide by any restrictions stipulated by the lender, such as “No Renewals” or “Library Use Only.” For additional information, please see our Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Policy. Borrowing Limits (number of items that can be checked out at one time)
Renewals
NOTE: Renewals for items borrowed through Interlibrary Loan are determined by the lender - please request renewals through the Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery System(logon required) at least three working days prior to the due date so that staff can pursue a renewal. Depending upon the material, lending libraries generally grant renewals for an additional two to four weeks. For additional information, please see our Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Policy. For general information and instructions about how to renew materials online, please see Online Renewal of Library Materials. Items that may not be renewed online and that must be brought to the Circulation Desk include:
If the patron’s account is blocked for any reason, the System will not process an online renewal. Please see Online Renewal of Library Materials for more information. Overdue MaterialsPatrons with outstanding overdue items are blocked from borrowing other library materials until the overdue items are renewed, returned or replaced. Interlibrary Loan (ILL) materials which become overdue jeopardize our borrowing privileges with other institutions. ILL privileges for eligible ILL users will be suspended and no further materials may be checked out until the overdue ILL item has been returned. For additional information, please see our Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Policy. Lost or Damaged MaterialsIt is the patron's responsibility to replace lost or damaged/destroyed Dudley Knox Library-owned items. If the identical item is no longer available, an item of equal value in the same subject area may be accepted. Please check with Circulation staff before ordering replacement items. Replacement of lost or damaged Interlibrary Loan (ILL) items will be considered on a case by case basis with exact replacement of items the first course of action. Please note that many lending libraries charge a flat rate of up to $100 per item for lost or damaged materials. Please speak with ILL staff before replacing a lost or damaged ILL item. Recalls
All items are subject to recall after two weeks from the date of check out. Please note that all library materials are subject to immediate recall if they are needed by faculty for course reserves. When an item is recalled, the user who has the item is sent an e-mail notice requesting that the item be returned to the library within 24 hours. Please reply immediately to recall e-mail notices if you are physically unable to return a recalled item (if you are TDY, a Distance Learning student, etc.) or if you have questions or concerns. Failure to comply with a recall request may result in suspended Library privileges. Holds placed through BOSUN (the online Library catalog) are automatically converted to recalls for all recall-eligible users. BOSUN uses the term 'hold' for recalls; however, the Library differentiates between holds and recalls. HOLD means that a hold will be placed on an item and when the item is returned, the requestor will be notified. If you are a recall-eligible user and wish to have an item placed on HOLD rather than have it RECALLED, please contact the Circulation Desk, or stop by the Circulation Desk. Please note that holds may not be placed on items that are available on the shelves (items that are not already checked out). If you need assistance with locating an item, please see staff at the Circulation Desk. HoldsHOLD means that a hold will be placed on an item, and when the item is returned, the requestor will be notified. A ‘hold’ is not a recall (see above) where an item recalled from the current user must be returned within 24 hours. Holds may be placed by any Dudley Knox Library cardholder. Please note that holds may not be placed on items that are available on the shelves (items that are not already checked out). If you need assistance with locating an item, please see staff at the Circulation Desk. Borrower ResponsibilityThe person to whom an item is checked out is responsible for the item until it is returned to the Library. Loaning a borrowed item to another individual does not reduce the responsibility of the borrower to return/replace the item(s). Non-Circulating ItemsThe following items are maintained for in-Library use only and are generally not available for loan/use outside the Library:
Requests to borrow non-circulating items for short periods of time will be considered on a case by case basis. Please see Research Assistance or Circulation staff for assistance. |
