Purpose
Clearview Library District’s Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service supports the educational and informational needs of the community by supplementing its on-site collection with materials available from libraries within the state and region. In addition, the district seeks to share its collections with those from whom it borrows in a reciprocal manner. Interlibrary Loan policy and procedures are guided by the Colorado Interlibrary Loan Code, the National Interlibrary Loan Code, and the interpretation of the U.S. Copyright Law.
User Eligibility
Access: ILL services are available to all District patrons holding a valid library card in good standing. Patrons with blocked accounts due to unpaid fees are ineligible for ILL services until the account is cleared.
Borrowing Parameters
Item Limit: Patrons may have a maximum of seven ILL items checked out at any one time. This includes items currently on order and items currently checked out.
Material Restrictions: Requests for items published within the last six months or for high-demand audiovisual materials are generally restricted through ILL to ensure compliance with regional lending protocols.
Loan Periods: The loan period is twenty-one days for print materials, with up to one renewal if the lending library allows. Media materials can be checked out for seven days and are typically not renewable.
Fees and Liability
The District will assess the replacement cost of any ILL item that is lost or returned damaged. Failure to pay outstanding fees or return ILL materials will result in an immediate block on ILL privileges.
