How to Submit a Request for Interlibrary Loan

Before you begin your request, please be sure to check the catalog to determine that one of the SRJC Libraries does not already own the book you need. To place your request, either 1) obtain and complete an interlibrary loan request form at the Reference Desk in either the Doyle Library or the Mahoney Library, or 2) submit requests using the online request forms:   Request a book  and Request a periodical article. (Student access to online interlibrary loan is not available.) You'll need a separate form for each book or periodical article you request. We regret that Interlibrary Loan requests may not be made over the telephone.

The Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of copies of copyrighted materials and limits the number of times Interlibrary Loan photocopies of articles may be requested from a single periodical title. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy, or reproduction for purposed in excess of "fair use" that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve a violation of copyright law.
