    Guidelines on the Use of Interlibrary Loan Service
    Copyright guidelines allow the Reese Library to borrow up to 6 articles from the same journal volume. The Library is bound by any restrictions on borrowing and/or use imposed by the lending library.

    The time allowed by the lending library is indicated on a slip attached to the front of the book. The loan period varies; it is commonly two weeks from the date of receipt. An extension of time should be requested only in extenuating circumstances, and should be directed to the Interlibrary Loan Office.

    Dissertations are usually not available for loan and must be purchased by the requester from University Microfilms. Order information can be obtained from Dissertation Abstracts.
