Who is eligible to use Interlibrary Loan?

Students, faculty, and staff of Waldorf College are eligible for interlibrary loan privileges. Faculty/staff spouses also have interlibrary loan privileges. Community patrons are eligible to borrow materials through ILL, but priority is given to Waldorf students, faculty, and staff.

Materials available through Interlibrary Loan

Books, photocopies of articles, musical scores, government documents, and most ERIC documents are generally available. Dissertations, materials reproduced in microform and films in VHS format are less readily available but may be obtained in some cases.

The following types of materials are generally not available through interlibrary loan:

  • bound periodical volumes
  • reference materials
  • certain books on tape/CD
  • certain DVD and CD recordings
  • materials that are considered rare, fragile, or too valuable to lend
  • print materials available only from foreign libraries

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.
