Interlibrary Loans: Overview

Information, how-to, FAQs, and other tidbits regarding Interlibrary Loans

What is Interlibrary Loan?

Through Interlibrary Loan (ILL), the Kirtland Library can borrow books from a nationwide network of libraries just for you. Whether it’s for a research project, a title a friend recommended, or simply a book you’ve been eager to read, we’ll help track it down and bring it right to you. ILL is available for Kirtland students, staff, and faculty. 

Concerning Copyright Restrictions

The copyright law of the United States (title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.” If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
