Question

Is there a cost to using interlibrary loan?

With most interlibrary loan requests, there is no cost to you.

When is there a cost?

There are two situations in which you may be asked to pay a fee:

  • When requested materials are only available from a lender who charges a fee; before the request is completed, you will have the opportunity to cancel the request or agree to pay the fee.
  • When an ILL item is lost or damaged while in your possession. 

What do fees generally cost? 

Lending fees are generally between $15-$40. Lost and damaged fees are dependent on the item and are also set by the lending library. 

How can I pay the fee? 

Fees can be paid by exact cash, BearBucks, check, or money order.
