Interlibrary Services

---

Le Moyne students, faculty, and alumni can obtain materials from other libraries by taking advantage of the Interlibrary Loan Service at Reference Services or by obtaining a referral from a librarian and visiting a library.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN (ILL)

The purpose of this service is to obtain materials not owned by the Falcone Library that are needed for research by Le Moyne students, faculty, staff and most alumni. Alumni who are students elsewhere must use the interlibrary services at that institution.

PROCEDURE

Electronic request forms are available through the library's home page. The traditional paper forms are available at Reference Services and may be submitted to the staff person on duty. Requested items are picked up and returned at Reference Services.

REQUIRED DATA

A complete bibliographic citation of the needed item is required. Do not abbreviate. For the benefit of the lending library, all citations must be complete with article title, journal name, volume, date and pages for journal articles and author, title, publisher and date for books. For assistance locating missing information, contact Reference Services.

DELIVERY TIME

It is difficult to determine the exact time necessary to receive each requested item. It may take 7 to 21 days or longer. During busy times of the school year, requests take longer to fill. In your preparation of research assignments, it is best to allow 10 to 15 days.

RENEWALS

If the materials are needed beyond the initial due date, submit an online renewal form. Patrons may keep the materials until notified by ILL staff of either the new due date or that the renewal was denied.

LOST OR DAMAGED ITEMS

Materials which have been lost or damaged must be paid for by the patron. Charges will cover the replacement cost of the materials and may also include service charges.

REFERRALS

Le Moyne students and faculty may visit and/or obtain borrowing privileges from other libraries. The best procedure to follow when you wish to visit another library is to consult with a reference librarian. The librarian can tell you whether that library's collection has what you are looking for, as well as explain your privileges there.

Le Moyne patrons are responsible for any damaged or lost material borrowed from other libraries. Failure of Le Moyne patrons to cooperate with local libraries regarding their financial obligations may affect their borrowing privileges at Le Moyne.

An explanation of how you may access some local libraries follows.

Syracuse University (Bird Library and the Science & Technology Library)

Borrowing privileges: None for students, unless granted by Le Moyne librarian.
Faculty may obtain a pass from Le Moyne's Reference Services which will allow them to register at S.U. for borrowing privileges for an entire year.

The use of this private library beyond on-site use is restricted to those doing substantial subject research. If a student is working on an advanced topic that requires subject searching in a research library setting, a circulation pass from a Le Moyne reference librarian may be granted. It must be determined by a Le Moyne College reference librarian that neither Le Moyne's collection nor the other local libraries contain materials to support subject research on the topic.

Syracuse University Libraries, despite their proximity to Le Moyne's campus, cannot be used to retrieve specific books needed at the last minute, nor as a substitute for Interlibrary Loan.
