         Types of Requests Accepted

• Via OCLC.

ALA form by mail or fax ONLY if OCLC access is not available. Most public and academic libraries have OCLC access. Please make requests through these libraries. If a request is made directly to LSU Libraries when there is OCLC available, the request will be denied.

• Email requests accepted from LaLINC members and other libraries. These requests must include complete call number/volume, etc., as well as a designated library email address. Email received without either information will not be processed.

We will not process personal requests.

 

            

          Loan Policies

 

Loan period

Material is due back to LSU/ILL 28 days from the date the request was shipped.

Failure to return material may result in a lost book bill for no less than $100. A non-refundable $30 overdue charge will remain even after extremely late material is returned. (When material is returned more than three months late, with rare exceptions the overdue fine is automatic). Once the material is at least six weeks overdue, the borrowing library will be BLOCKED from further loans through LSU/ILL until the material is either returned or replacement costs are paid.

 

Renewals

Renewals are permitted unless otherwise notified.  The due date is the date we should have the item in our hands.  All renewal requests MUST be made at least five days before the due date.
