Patrons are not permitted to request interlibrary loan materials if they have any overdue items or accrued fines.
Submitting Requests:
A patron must fill out an ILL Request Form completely, for each request submitted, limit of 3 requests per patron per day.
All ILL requests must be submitted electronically using the online Interlibrary Forms.
A request does not guarantee that the material is obtainable. The receipt of each requested item will vary based on lender. On average requests take one to three weeks to arrive. Required readings listed on your course syllabus cannot be requested.
The library cannot place any interlibrary loan materials on reserve.

Notification of Arrival:
Date of receipt of requested materials varies depending on their availability.
Patrons will be notified of the arrival of the ILL either by email or phone as specified on the request form.
The ILL will be held at the Emmanuel College Library Circulation Desk for pick-up.
If the patron fails to pick-up the ILL within a week, a second notice will be given. If the requested item is still not retrieved, the item will be returned to the lending library.
Patron Responsibility:
The ILL is under the protection of Federal Copyright Law.
For further information, please visit the United States Copyright Office.
Patrons assume full responsibility for the ILL and accept the terms of Copyright Law, Emmanuel College’s ILL policies, and the Lending Library’s policies, including length of loan and fees.
The failure to return an ILL prior to the due date, will result in the loss of library borrowing privileges, financial liability, holds on grades, transcripts, graduation proceedings, and course registration.
TOP
Renewals:
The patron must contact the Distribution Librarian prior to the ILL’s due date to request a loan extension. Renewals of ILL items are per the policies of the lending institutions and cannot be guaranteed.
If the Lending Library grants a renewal, the patron will be notified of the new due date by email or phone as specified on the request form.
If the Lending Library denies a renewal, the item must be returned by the original due date or the patron will be held accountable for any overdue liabilities listed above.
The Massachusetts Virtual Catalog does not permit renewals.
Returning the Interlibrary Loan:
All ILL items must be returned on or before the due date.
All ILL items MUST be hand delivered to a library worker at the Emmanuel College Circulation Desk and should NEVER be placed in the outside or inside book return drop.
