Some libraries, like the Library of Congress, lend materials with the restriction that our patrons can only use them in our library. Our patrons can make copies of any relevant pages.
Unlike ILL materials that go home with patrons, these in-house use materials can be checked out / checked in an unlimited number of times to allow patrons to return to the library throughout the lending period to read the materials.
When a patron approaches the Circ Desk, please retrieve the item from behind the desk and check it out to the patron. There is a 4-hour limit on each check-out, but this time limit is not enforced. The patron can stay as long as the library remains open to read the material.
When the patron leaves, the patron is to return the item to the desk and let you know whether s/he is ready to have the item returned to the lender or if the patron intends to come back another day to continue reading the material. Either way, please check in the item. If the patron is finished, place the item on the TS shelf. If the patron plans to return, place the item back on the ILL shelf.
If you have any questions about in-house interlibrary loan, please ask Dreama or Lori Elrick.
