The ILL/DDS service is accessible to all current USEK faculty, staff and enrolled students. We regret that this service is not available for personal non-university research and recreational reading purposes.
In the event that a user’s request limit has been reached, USEK Library has the right to reject an ILL/DDS request. In some cases, the Library will not be able to fulfill the user’s request and will send them an e-mail explaining why.
The ILL/DDS service is free of charge.
Users will be charged 5,000 L.L. per item per day for overdue items as well as any additional charges that might be imposed by the lending library.
An email notification will be sent once the ILL item(s) becomes available for pick-up.
Items can be picked up from the research help office at the Main Library or the Circulation Desks of branch libraries and must be checked out using a valid USEK ID card.
Loan periods may vary depending on the library the item came from.
Loaned items should always be returned by the due date stated on the ILL book slip; failing to do so can result in extra charges to the borrower, as well as jeopardizing our relationship with other lending institutions.
Please note that photocopies of articles are the property of the library user.
ILL materials can be recalled any time by the lending library. Recalled items must be returned to the research help office at the main library or the Circulation Desks of branch libraries within one working day of the recall notification. Otherwise, overdue charges will apply.
We will try and renew your ILL book upon request; however, please note that not all lending libraries allow renewals for ILL material.
If you would like to renew an ILL item, you must notify us one week prior to the due date stated on your item slip.
Renewed item(s) must be returned to the Research office at the Main Library or Circulation Desks of branch libraries by the indicated due date.
If items are kept beyond the due date, the user’s borrowing privileges will be suspended until the overdue items are returned.
Longer suspensions of privileges may apply if borrowers are consistently late in returning materials.
If an ILL item is lost or damaged whilst on loan to you, you will be charged according to the borrowing policy of the lending library.
