PurposeThe purpose of the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service is to obtain, whenever possible, materials not available in the Campbell Library, Rowan University collection for the educational and research needs of the University community. This may include, but is not limited to, books, journal articles, documents, and audio-visual materials. The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service obtains materials from other libraries, both in this country and throughout the world. The service includes interlibrary borrowing and the purchase of articles from commercial document suppliers. Campbell Library ILL will fill all requests as quickly as possible. Number of requests and Pick-Up PolicyIndividual ILL requests are limited to ten (10) per person per week. Requests must allow up to 14 days from date of request for processing. We will not process requests for books or other materials that are charged out. Also, we will not process requests for articles that are available full-text on the library's databases. If you have problems locating materials in the library, check with a librarian before processing an Interlibrary Loan request. Books or multimedia materials must be picked up at the Campbell Library Circulation Deskwithin five days after notice of receipt. If an extension of time is necessary, the office must be notified or fines will be charged. Who May BarrowThose eligible to place an ILL request at Campbell Library are:
The conditions of this service are set by the Interlibrary Loan Code of the American Library Association and by the regulations of individual lending libraries. All guidelines reflect these conditions and encourage cooperation from everyone for the most effective service. What may be borrowed?
Materials Which might be difficult to borrowMost libraries will NOT ordinarily lend the following types of materials:
Looking for a doctoral dissertation?Many of our bibliographic indexes include citations for doctoral dissertations, the research theses required of all Ph.D. degree candidates. The citations will often indicate an item is a dissertation or identify the source of the record as Dissertation Abstracts International, (Digital Dissertations) the major index for dissertations. Please keep in mind that the libraries at the universities where they were produced own the dissertations, and there is the possibility that a library will not lend dissertations. To obtain dissertations produced in year 1997 to present, go to Digital Dissertations, which allows you to request a free download of the entire dissertation that will be sent as a PDF file to your email address. This database provides information for purchasing paper, microfilm or microfiche copies of dissertations written prior to 1997 that range in price from $38.00 to $59.00. Please contact the Reference Desk telephone at 856-256-4801 for further assistance. Help with different types of RequestsMake your item selection. Supply accurate and complete information. If possible, supply ISBN number for books or ISSN number for journals. Search "Books in Print, Global" to obtain ISBN number, and "Ulrich's International Periodicals" for ISSN number. Books published before 1970 will not have an ISBN number. Ulrich's will have the ISSN number, but if using a database; check the complete record that usually contains the ISSN number. If you do not locate, type "unknown" in the space. Before placing a request, carefully, check the Catalog, or E-Journal Finder.
