Library Services FAQ: Interlibrary Loan FAQs

Patrons are responsible for returning items in the same condition in which they were received. 

The ILL librarian inspects all items as they arrive and as they are returned.  If you damage the book, then you are responsible to pay any charges associated with the damage or loss of the borrowed ILL book.  Normal wear and tear is expected. Examples of damages include:  highlighting, pen or pencil notes, coffee or liquid stains, dog-earred page corners, busted spines, and several torn pages.

The lending library determines the replacement cost and processing fees.
