"This will give our students an opportunity to see what other students around the state are doing, and the other universities the chance to see what we're doing." All three senators emphasized establishing better communication among the departments in the college. "There is a lot of room to fill in the gaps," said Kennedy. "We would really like to create a new and better understanding among the departments," said Interlibrary loan brings unavailable texts to SUU By MISSY SEVERSON JOURNAL STAFF WRJT ER The SUU Library offers a service to students and the community, called the interlibrary Joan. This service makes available items which SUU does not have in its collection. The interlibrary loan program is made possible through an agreement with many other libraries in and out of the state. To place a request for a loan, the person must first determine that the book or article is not available at the SUU library. Following this, a loan request form must be completed. These forms are available at the library reference desk. When completing the form, as much information about the book or article as possible is necessary. The more information provided, the quicker it is to find the requested item. The time it takes for materials to arrive depends on how close the library is to SUU and the difficulty of the request. If the item is located within the state, one week should be expected. Students making out-of-state requests should allow two weeks or more. When the materials arrive, the library will contact the person by either phone or e-mail, and the requested information can then be picked up at the circulation desk. After use, the item should be returned either to the circulation desk or to the interlibrary loan office located in room 304 of the Library. The cost for students to receive books through interlibrary loan ranges from $ 1 to $20, depending on the amount determined by the lending library. For articles, there is a charge of 15 cents per page, plus the base amount charged by the lending library. Community residents wishing to utilize the interlibrary loan progra m can pick up a patron card at the Library's circulation desk. This card enables them to pay a smaller fee for the service. Community patrons can expect to pay SUU Library charges of $1 with the patron card, $5 without, and $10 for businesses. This fee is in addition to any charges from the lending library. The time allotted for use of the book is determined by the lending library, but is usually two weeks for books. Overdue books will be charged a fee of SO cents per day. To renew a book, the interlibrary loan office must be contacted with a renewal request before the due date. However, some lending libraries will not allow books to be renewed. To help SUU maintain partnerships with other libraries, it is important that both students and community patrons return all materials on time and in good condition. If this is done, the interlibrary loan program will remain available to all students and community members. |
