UA Libraries ILL Lending Policies
UA Libraries lends materials and provides electronic and photo copies from the collections to individuals who request them through other institution. Other institutions may submit their requests via OCLC or the web (contact ILL staff for information.)
Circulating/Non-Circulating Materials
Most materials in the UA Libraries collections may be loaned. Reference and microfilm materials may be loaned at the discretion of the UA Libraries. UA Libraries does not lend audio/visual materials, special collection items, or periodicals less than 10 years old.
Loan Period
Materials may be loaned for four weeks and are subject to recall at any time. Renewals are at the discretion of UA Libraries. Some materials may be restricted to “In-Library Use Only.” To protect special materials from possible damage or loss, special packaging and commercial shipment services may be required.
