INTERLIBRARY LOAN BORROWING POLICIES
Interlibrary loan to borrow materials from other libraries is available only to UMC staff, students, and faculty. Request forms available in the library or upon request, are sent to the department. Delivery time for materials ranges from a few days to several weeks. Sufficient time should be given to allow for receipt of items by the time needed. Copyright restrictions affecting the photocopying of materials are strictly observed. Costs that might be assessed by lending libraries are charges to library users. Emergency requests may be processed by telefacsimile. Rowland Medical Library provides most document delivery at no charge to primary users. Fees may apply if the lending library charges Rowland Medical Library. For help with ILL forms and procedures please call 4-1247 or 4-1234 or contact the department at lib-ill@rowland.umsmed.edu.
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.
THE ROWLAND MEDICAL LIBRARY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO ACCEPT A COPYING REQUEST IF, IN ITS JUDGMENT, FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUEST WOULD INVOLVE VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAW.
