AUP Library-Interlibrary Loan Policy

Purpose

The purpose of interlibrary loan is to obtain, upon request of a library user, material not available at this library.

AUPlibrary is part of a network of free lending libraries (AMICAL and a few French University libraries) that provide materials to our patrons at no cost and we do reciprocal lending. In addition, we have the possibility of ordering from libraries nationwide and abroad for a fee that the library pays.

For our patrons:

Who may borrow:

Current AUP Students (Undergrad & Grads), AUP faculty, and AUP Staff may place requests for interlibrary loans at no charge.

Alumniand Dependents will have to pay a 30 € feeper item.

What may be borrowed :

Patrons may not order anything the library already owns, and should instead get the itemwithin our library. There may be limitations as to what we can order due to copyright laws. There is no limit to the number of materials requested.

Lending Period :

The lending library will set the due date, and whether or not items may be renewed.

It is in the patron’s best interest to pick up interlibrary loan requests promptly.

Patrons who do not return items on time or in good condition are subject to loss of interlibrary loan privileges.

Only Faculty, Staff and students can takeInterlibrary loan booksoutside the library.
