Please plan ahead when requesting your material.What is Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?ILL is a service provided by the Kettering University Library for obtaining materials that are not available in the Library's collections. All policies governing ILL procedures are based on the National Interlibrary Loan Code. Some libraries may refuse to loan the following materials;
Interlibrary Loan FAQs Who may use ILL? ILL is available to currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff. ILL services are not available to alumni, courtesy card patrons, and company sponsoring employees. Genesee County residents may use interlibrary loan at the Flint Public Library or the Genesee District Library. How do I request material through ILL? There are three ways in which to request materials through ILL:
Please limit your requests to five per day. How long does an ILL request take? Most requests take seven to fourteen business days to fill, but may take longer depending on the type of request. The average turnaround time for an ILL book request is seven to ten business days, and an ILL article request is five to seven business days. ILL requests are processed in the order received and are routed to five libraries in a sequence. Each library has five days to respond to the request. If you are eager to learn about the status of your request contact the ILL Technician at (810) 762-7938 or email us at ill@kettering.edu to check on the progress. If we have questions regarding your ILL request and you do not respond to our email within seven days, we will assume you no longer need the ILL material, and your request will be cancelled. Interlibrary Loan is not a free service, but most requests are filled free of charge to you. The library absorbs many of the costs that can include lender fees, postage, and copyright permissions. In cases where the total per item charge exceeds $50.00 you will be asked to pay any amount exceeding the $50.00 limit. ILL staff will contact you for approval before proceeding with your request. How do I know when my material has arrived? ILL staff will notify you by email when your material is ready. Material is available for pick-up in the drawer marked "Patron File" in the tan file cabinet outside the ILL office, unless you make other arrangements. How long may I keep the material? Can I renew? The due date is stamped on the book strap affixed to the front of each book loaned. Items must be returned on or before the due date. The lending library determines the loan period and whether renewal requests will be granted. Libraries generally lend materials for two to four weeks. Renewal requests must be made five days in advance of the due date. All materials are subject to recall by the lending library. Return materials to the ILL office. It is important to return ILL books on time so as not to jeopardize our borrowing relationships with other libraries. Photocopies are yours to keep. All students, faculty, and staff are responsible for any fines and/or fees incurred due to loss or damage of materials obtained through ILL. Failure to pay these fines will result in a library hold and a suspension of ILL privileges.
Rush service may be available. Please speak to the ILL Technician or the librarian on duty. What is "Copyright" and how does it apply to me? 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 copy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction 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 the copyright law. 37 C. F.
