Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) allows UTC students, 教师, and staff to obtain library materials that the UTC图书馆 does not own.

General Information

• Interlibrary Loan requests are managed in your UTC图书馆 Account. To log in, use your UTCID and Password. Use the “Make a Request” form to submit a request for an article, 本章, 书, or DVD to be sent from another library.

• You can request items, view checkouts, 续贷, access articles, and check the status of your requests through your UTC图书馆 Account.

• Articles and 本章s are delivered electronically as a PDF file. You will receive an e-mail with a link to download your requested article or 本章 when it is available. A download option is also available from your UTC图书馆 Account under the “My Requests” tab. Articles can be viewed for 60 days after receipt and downloaded up to 5 times.

• Print 书s and DVDs arrive in an average of 7 business days. Delivery times vary based on availability from sharing partners. You will be notified by e-mail when your item arrives at the library and receive instructions for pick-up.

• We hold items for two weeks at the Check Out Desk from the date the item arrives. We send one reminder email during this period if the item has not been picked up.

• Due dates are set by the library providing the items.

• E-书s may be acquired depending on licensing options available from our 书 vendor. We will notify you if we acquire an e-书 to fulfill your request.

续签

• 续签 are available for items based on policy set by the lending library. You can renew items one time for a two-week period.

• Items with "NO RENEWALS" noted on the paperwork provided with the item cannot be renewed.

• 续签 for physical items can be requested beginning one week before the due date. Go to the “My Checked Out Items” tab of your UTC图书馆 to request a renewal.
