TJ Jones Memorial Library Policy on interlibrary loan

1. Welcome to

2. Two Types of Databases : MINITEX O nline C omputer L ibrary C enter

3. Turn Your Requests in AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - We have a small staff & a limited budget - Requests can take anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks ( 3 days is unlikely). - A huge wave all at once makes it difficult to process requests quickly

4. Dissertation Abstracts International - The DAI is an Index of abstracts. It does not contain the actual dissertation - Dissertations are REALLY hard to get, and they may have an additional fee !!! We’re happy to order them but keep the above in mind.

5. ISSN - The I nternational S tandard S erial N umber is VERY HELPFUL . It gives us an added ability to search for your title. - It also helps distinguish between journals with the same name. For example there are multiple journals titled The Journal of Psychology

8. - We charge $.25 per request. How much does it cost? - Overdue fines are higher for Interlibrary Loans. - We do not request things that we already have. So, if we can fill your request in our library your money will not be refunded. - Sometimes there are added fees.

9. - Fill out the forms as completely as possible The Forms - Please use plain blue or black ink - Sign the bottom of the student portion - DO NOT ABBREVIATE anything on the page - If there is a subtitle include it along with the title

13. The End
