Liability

Per the National Interlibrary Loan Code the requesting library assumes responsibility for borrowed material from the time it leaves the supplying library until it has been returned to and received by the supplying library. This includes all material shipped directly to and/or returned by the user. If damage or loss occurs, the borrowing (requesting) library will provide compensation or replacement, in accordance with the preference of the supplying library. Repair or replacement costs are determined by a subject/area librarian, plus a $10 service fee.
