NOTICE

Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright.

Most materials requested through Interlibrary Loan arrive within 1 to 2 weeks. Interlibrary Loan materials are subject to any restrictions imposed by the lending library. Depending on the delivery method employed by the lending library, copies of articles may arrive much sooner.

Charges imposed by lending libraries could include charges for postage, insurance, photocopies, and handling. AGTS staff will try to help the patron keep these charges to a minimum if possible. These charges, if applicable, along with the $1 processing fee must be paid when the patron picks up the ILL item.

What is OCLC ILL?

Since 1978, the Library has contracted for access to OCLC (Online Computer Library Center), a major world-wide computer-based cataloging bibliographic utility, currently through the Missouri Library Network Corporation (MLNC). As students grow in their experience and skill, becoming more advanced in the pursuit of their information needs, the library can offer access to ever wider resources to meet those needs through its use of this extensive bibliographic record collection which provides access to other library resources through Interlibrary Loan.

Research materials that are not available locally may be obtained through Interlibrary Loan. The scenarios in which an AGTS patron may wish to use OCLC Interlibrary Loan are as follows:

To check out a book that is not available at AGTS or at any other SWAN/MOBIUS library.
To obtain the photocopy of a journal article that is not available in the AGTS library or through online databases licensed by AGTS.
