  obtained through interlibrary loan according to the policies of the lending
  libraries.

  or other formats; items which are free on the Web; textbooks currently in use;
  reference books, entire sets of books or serials; rare or fragile materials;
  materials for recreation, entertainment, hobbies, genealogy, etc.; materials for

  damaged materials while books are checked out under their names.

• Each eligible patron may submit no more than 10 requests within the same week.

• Requests are processed from the appropriate OCLC FirstSearch database. Fill out
  request form but leave out the "cost" and "date needed." See the Information Desk
  for assistance or for any problems encountered.

• When the borrowed materials arrive, patrons are notified by email, phone,
  or postal mail.
• Photocopies are sent electronically, by campus mail, or U.S. mail.
  Electronically delivered articles must be opened within 24 hours because of
  the time limit on the server. Andrews email works best for electronically
  delivered articles.

• Books and Dissertations - Pick up from and return to the Circulation Desk.
  Since these are borrowed from other libraries, it is important that they be
  returned on time to maintain good relations with the lending libraries.

  set by the lending library. All materials on loan are subject to immediate
  recall by the lending library.

  exchange for patron's Andrews ID card and returned to the circulation desk
  before closing time.

  arises, renewal requests must be submitted to the Circulation Desk no later
  than three days before the date due to give time to communicate with the
  library.
• No phone renewals, please.
• The book must be returned with the original date due slip and the slip with
  the renewed date due to the Circulation Desk. If the lending library does not
  grant the renewal request, please return the book as soon as notified.
