What does it cost?

Generally there is no cost for ILL services, however, all requests are processed through Copyright Clearance and some periodical articles may incur a fee.

Copyright

Photocopies of periodical articles may be restricted due to US Copyright Law. 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 by law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a copy or other reproduction. One of the specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship or research”. If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopied reproduction for purposes 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, fulfilling the order would involve violation of copyright law. Any ILL of videos or audios will receive a disclamer statement on copyright.
