The Derrell C. Roberts Library
of Dalton Sate College seeks to avoid violation of copyright laws by adhering to
guidelines developed by CONTU, the Commission on New Technological Uses of
Copyrighted Works.
These restrictions limit
interlibrary loan (ILL) requests of periodical articles to five requests per
title, per calendar year, from any issues within the current five-year period
and only one article per issue may be requested. When the total requests for a
particular title exceed five, then the purchase of that title by the Library
should be considered.
To comply with national and
state interlibrary codes, requests for interlibrary loans follow the protocol
for lending institution as established by the National Interlibrary Loan Code
adopted by the American Library Association in 2001, the Georgia Interlibrary
Loan Code adopted by the Georgia Library Association in 2000, and the GIL
Interlibrary Loan Policies and Procedures adopted by the Georgia University
System libraries in 2000.
ILL is not an alternative to
collection development for any area of the Roberts Library.
In order to provide
expeditious ILL service, these guidelines apply:
-
ILL service is available only
to current faculty, staff, and students of Dalton State College. Non-Dalton
State College users, including those with library issued community patron
cards or students with recreational reading requests, should contact their
local public library for interlibrary loan service.
-
Students are limited to six
course-related requests at any one time, whether pending or currently in use.
Priority will be given to course related requests.
-
Most libraries in Georgia
provide materials free of charge. However, some do not and others outside of
Georgia charge to lend. Any charges for borrowing must be paid by the person
requesting the loan; the form has a place to indicate willingness to pay for a
request. Once a request is made, any incurred charges must be paid. The
requestor must pay for any other charges, such as overdues, loss, or damage.
-
Requests for interlibrary
loans are to comply with the above stated national and state guidelines.
-
As interlibrary loan is a
privilege extended by the lending institution, that institution's restrictions
on use are to be followed (such as when a book on loan may not be taken out of
the Roberts Library). Any violation of these restrictions placed upon the
Roberts Library will be cause for cancellation of the remaining loan period,
and the immediate return of the material.
-
Renewal requests for
materials received through interlibrary loan should be made prior to
the return date stated on the wrapper of the loaned material. Renewals may
not be made when the lending library has specifically prohibited this option.
Any item recalled from a lending library must be returned to the Roberts
Library immediately.
-
The continuing violation of
ILL privileges by any individual will be cause for restriction of their use of
the service. The Library Director will handle such matters.
