Bryan College Station Public Library System
Policy: INTERLIBRARY LOAN
The Bryan College Station Public Library System participates in the Texas State
Library and Archives Commission Interlibrary Loan program (ILL). This service constitutes
a partnership between the library system and other libraries across the nation to loan
and/or receive library materials that are not locally held. This means that if a specific book
or periodical is not listed in our library catalog, a patron may be able to request the
material through ILL. The library system will only accept requests for books and periodical
articles. The library system does not request movies, music CDs, audio books, or other non-
print media.
In order to request an item through ILL, a patron's account must be current and in
good standing. No items will be ordered if the account is not clear. Patrons who have an
item listed as "Claimed Return" will be allowed to request materials through ILL. Patrons
must be at least 18 years of age to request ILL materials. If, for any reason,there is a
problem with the account, a librarian can assist the patron in resolving the problem.
A patron is asked to provide as much information as possible,which includes name,
valid library card, e-mail address and telephone number. icor books, supply the author,title,
and any publication information that will assist library staff in ordering the book. If only a
certain section of the book is desired, i.e., a specific chapter or page range, indicate this
information on the form. For articles, supply the author, article title,the title of the
periodical, the volume and issue number, or the date of the issue, and the page numbers of
• the article.The ILL staff will notify the patron if the requested item cannot be ordered, if
the form is missing pertinent information, or if the lending library charges a fee for the
requested item, The library automation system will notify the borrower if the library
receives the item or if the item is overdue.
Normally, this service is free; however, some libraries request a nonrefundable fee
to lend certain titles. If this is the case,the ILL staff will contact the patron about the cost of
the item. If the patron does not want to pay the fee, then the request will be cancelled and
the patron may request another item. If the patron decide to pay the given amount,the
library will re-request the item and a statement will be sent with the material. This adds to
the amount of time needed to deliver the item.When invoiced, the patron will pay the
amount to the lending library with a check or money order and the ILL staff will send the
invoice and payment to the lending institution.
Materials must have been published at least 6 months prior to the request. Requests
for materials that have a publication date that is less than 16 months will not be accepted.
A library patron may have up to four active ILL requests at one time. Once a patron
returns a book or picks up a requested article, another request can be made. Note that it
may take anywhere from two weeks to two months or more to receive the requested item;
it will depend on the location of the lending library and the number of copies available. If
the item is needed by a certain date, provide this date on the "Date Needed By" blank.
Books received through the ILL program will be assigned a temporary barcode.A
temporary MARC record will be created in the library automation system. The ILL staff will
• be responsible for processing the books and creating the temporary MARC record.After the
item is processed the book will be placed at the library's Circulation desk. The patron will
be notified by the library automation system that the book is available.When the book is
• checked out to the patron the Circulation Clerk will assig:i the due date for the item in the
library automation system. Due dates are determined by the lending library and are not
subject to the Library System's control. Patrons may request an extension of the due date
by contacting ILL staff.The lending library makes the final determination concerning the
granting of a request for extension.
Patrons are required to return the items on or before the due date posted on the
due-date slip located on the front cover of the book and noted in the library automation
system. ILL material should be returned to the library from which it was borrowed. If the
book was checked out from the Clara B. Mounce Public Library return it to the Clara B.
Mounce Public Library Circulation desk. If the item was checked out at Larry J. Ringer
Library, return it to the Circulation desk there. The ILL staff will be responsible for
returning the book to the lending library.
If ILL materials are returned damaged the lending library may assess fees/fines. The
patron will be responsible for paying those fines. Checks or money orders may be made out
to the lending library and given to the ILL staff.The ILL staff will be responsible for sending
the check or money order to the lending library.
Overdue fines of$1.00 per day will be assessed on all Interlibrary Loan materials.
The age of the patron borrowing the material will not be a factor in assessing the fine.A
notation will be made on the patron's library account when materials are returned late.A
patron's ILL borrowing privileges may be revoked after 3 items have been returned late.
Patrons who fail to pay for lost or damaged ILL mterials or who are habitually late
in returning ILL materials to the library system may be denied future ILL borrowing based
• on the discretion of the ILL staff and the Library System Director.
