Sample worksheet 17 + + + + +Introduction + + +This manual has been prepared as a guide to the Information Network +Service, the interlibrary loan system of the Long Island Library +Resources Council (LILRC). + +The manual contains a description of how the location and delivery +service works and the policy on which it is based, as well as standards +to which it is expected participating libraries will adhere. + +Please do not hesitate to make suggestions and comments regarding this +manual and the interlibrary loan service to the Council office. + +January 1976 + + + + +INTERLIBRARY LOAN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES + + +Our interlibrary loan program is based on the premise that lending +among libraries for the benefit of individuals in Nassau and Suffolk +counties is in the public interest and should be encouraged. It is +impossible for any one library to be self-sufficient, and interlibrary +borrowing and lending is regarded by the libraries participating in +this program as essential to library service. + +It is the policy of the Council that the routines of borrowing and +lending are simplified as much as possible consistent with the +protection of material. Every effort is made to emphasize speed and to +base the service on a spirit of cooperation and trust among +participating libraries. + +What follows comprise the procedures and standards that have developed +gradually and voluntarily in our area--this is what works for us. +Changes may be introduced as the need arises. + + +What may be borrowed + +It is recognized that interlibrary borrowing does not relieve any +library of the responsibility for developing its own collection. Each +library should provide the bulk of materials needed by its users for +purposes of study, instruction, information and research. + +The borrowing library should make every effort to exhaust its own +resources before turning to interlibrary loan. It should also screen +requests carefully before transmitting them to the Council, eliminating +those which common sense indicates would not be supplied. + +The borrowing library is responsible for returning loans promptly and +in good condition. The borrowing library should respond quickly to +overdue notices and is responsible for paying fees for lost books as +levied by the lending library. The library should refuse to request +books on interlibrary loan on behalf of borrowers who abuse the +privilege. + + +Placing requests + +Our network is part of an hierarchical system. Requests we cannot +locate in the region we send to the New York State Interlibrary Loan +Network (NYSILL) which searches the State Library in Albany and +selected referral libraries in the State. The key to the success of +NYSILL is that it is asked only for materials not available locally. +The network would break down if the major libraries were asked to +supply commonly held materials. Medically oriented requests not found +on Long Island are transmitted to the Regional Medical Library +interlibrary loan network in Brooklyn. + +Public libraries submit their requests through their respective library +systems, which process the requests through LILRC, NYSILL, or other +channels. + +All other libraries in the region should submit their requests to +LILRC. Most libraries prefer to have local requests handled centrally, +and decline to fill regional requests unless they have been transmitted +by the Council. In special circumstances, libraries may arrange to deal +directly with each other. + + +Form of requests + +Borrowing libraries may find it helpful to develop worksheets (see +samples in Appendix B) to be used by the reader and the librarian in +preparing the interlibrary loan request, indicating all the items we +need to know. + +Requests may be submitted on LILRC interlibrary loan forms which we +supply, and sent in by mail or by our driver. They may be placed by +teletype, using a format based on the LILRC request form. Urgent +requests may be placed by telephone. + +We ask that you fill out the form as completely and as accurately as +possible, including author's full first name. Supply all the +information you have been able to elicit from your patron, as well as +all you have been able to glean from bibliographic sources to complete +the request. The more information you give us the more likely we are to +locate the material you need--and the more quickly. + +Try to develop techniques for drawing from your reader as much as he +knows about the item he is seeking and the source of the citation. He +must have some reason for believing the item exists, and we should be +able to pass this information on to the potential lending library. + + +Verification + +Check as far as possible to verify the accuracy of the information the +reader gives you. We trust that you will verify citations as completely +and as accurately as your resources will allow. + +The ALA and NYSILL manuals (see Appendix A) both contain a listing of +standard bibliographic tools and sources of verification. Verification +sources not found in the standard lists should be cited in full. +Remember that reference tools and abbreviations familiar to you may not +be known to the librarian trying to fill the request. Please give full +citation of the source of verification, including date, volume, series, +and the page on which verification was found. That is, not just "NUC," +but "NUC, 1968-72, 25:478." In a request for a periodical article, both +the title of the periodical and the location of the article should be +verified, and both sources of verification should be given. + +If you cannot verify the item in a standard bibliographic tool, please +supply a complete citation to the source of reference, including +author's full name, publisher, date, and page of citation. + +When libraries are unable to verify requests completely because their +bibliographic resources and staff are severely limited, we will _try_ +to verify the information and to locate the item. If a request is +hopelessly inadequate, with vital information missing or with +incomprehensible abbreviations, we will return it for clarification. + + +OCLC verification + +Please use caution when citing OCLC numbers as verification for +interlibrary loan requests. The Council office and most of the +libraries in our region do not have OCLC terminals. Include OCLC #, +author and title, place, publisher and date, and Nassau-Suffolk and +NYSILL locations where given. Be sure all information has been copied +correctly. + + +Data base verification + +If an item is requested on the basis of a citation on a computer +printout, supply all information given and be sure to indicate which +data base was used, such as ERIC, Psych Abstracts, Compendex, BIOSIS, +etc. + + +Photocopying + +The lending library may choose to supply photocopies of articles in +lieu of lending whole issues or volumes of serials. By mutual +agreement, libraries in our region generally absorb the costs of +photocopying articles, although there may be a charge for longer +articles. Libraries have usually found that by photocopying for each +other without charge they come out reasonably even and avoid the +expense and trouble of accounting and billing procedures. + + +Expenses + +LILRC along among the 3R's Councils in the State has chosen to maintain +a low membership fee which is the same for all libraries. Our income is +supplemented by a system of charges and credits for completed +interlibrary loan transactions, so that libraries pay in proportion to +the use they make of our service. These charges are not related to the +cost of the service. + +The borrowing library is charged a fee for each item it obtains through +LILRC. The lending library receives a credit (presently $1.00) equal to +one-half the charge (presently $2.00) for each item it supplies. +Libraries with collections from which we borrow heavily, paying for +teletype machines to receive our requests, may be given additional +credit if replies are transmitted promptly. + + + + +DIRECT ACCESS TO OTHER LIBRARIES + + +Both the Nassau Library System and the Suffolk Cooperative Library +System have policies of direct access, including borrowing privileges, +among the public libraries within their respective counties. A reader +may find another library convenient; remind him to check with his local +public library for details. + +Other alternatives to interlibrary loan include: + + +Location service + +It may be more practical for some readers to use books and periodicals +at the library which holds them rather than request them on +interlibrary loan. For periodicals, you may refer readers on the basis +of the _Nassau-Suffolk Union List of Serials_. Please check the list of +participating libraries in the front of volume 1 which notes some +limitations of public access to materials in certain libraries. + +For monographs, call LILRC and ask for a check of a few libraries in +the microfilms of card catalogs to get locations for needed items. + + +Research Loan Program + +Through this program, patrons of participating libraries have direct +access, including circulation privileges, to specific subject area +collections in other participating libraries. In lieu of numerous +interlibrary loan requests, libraries may wish to recommend their +readers take advantage of this program. The latest LILRC membership +list indicates libraries which have joined this program. Details are +available in all participating libraries and from LILRC. + + + + +INFORMATION NETWORK SERVICE-How it works + + +Requests are received daily from participating libraries by teletype +and on LILRC interlibrary loan forms by mail and delivery service. A +limited number of urgent requests may be received by telephone. All +requests are transcribed onto LILRC request forms if they have not +arrived on that form. + +All requests are checked to make sure that all necessary bibliographic +information has been given. If a glaring error or omission can be +corrected easily, the INS clerk will do so and process the request. If +the error is not easily corrected, the request is returned to the +requesting library for clarification. + +When a monograph request is received, the clerk checks the appropriate +catalogs in the data bank of library card catalogs in microfilm in the +LILRC office (or calls libraries for materials not listed in the +catalogs). For serials the clerk checks the _Nassau-Suffolk Union List +of Serials_ and other tools. When an item is located, the clerk calls, +teletypes a message, or sends a copy of the request to the prospective +lender to see if the item is actually available. + +The INS staff tries to maintain a balance between locating the needed +items most efficiently and at the same time spreading the load so that +the larger libraries are not overburdened with requests and so that all +libraries are given a chance to build up credits. + +Each time we check with a prospective lender, a notation is made on the +interlibrary loan form indicating the library's name and response. If +"yes," arrangements are made for pickup. If "no," the search goes on. +"Maybe" takes a little longer; although the item is in the catalog, the +shelf must be checked to see if the volume is available for loan or +photocopying. + +When a loan is arranged, the clerk prepares the interlibrary loan forms +(still intact) for the driver. Having begun her run in the morning, +delivering books and copies picked up the previous day, the driver +returns to the LILRC office in the early afternoon with that day's +deliveries and pickups. The driver collects the day's batch of slips +and prepares her itinerary for the next day. + +Copies of the interlibrary loan form are used as follows: + +_Serials_ _Books_ + +white Sent to lending library pink + +yellow Inserted into each book delivered yellow + to borrowing library or clipped + to copy of article + +pink Filed by name of borrowing library white + in LILRC circulation file, + used for statistics, then filed + +gold Returned to borrowing library with gold + bill unless retained by library + before submitting request to LILRC + +If an item is not located at a member library, the request is +considered for transmission to the State Library in Albany and the +NYSILL network or to the Regional Medical Library network. Certain +categories of requests may be submitted to the State Library but are +not normally eligible for transmission to NYSILL, such as: fiction, +text books, current publications and those in popular demand, rare +books, genealogy, children's books, multi-volume sets, reference books, +non-research books (self-help, recreation, etc.). Interlibrary loan +librarians should familiarize themselves with the NYSILL manual (see +Appendix A) so they will know what to expect when we send requests to +NYSILL for them. + +Each day, the requests not located on Long Island are teletyped to the +State Library in Albany. If available, the book or copy will be sent +from the State Library or the library to which it has been referred, +directly to the requesting library whose name and address have been +coded into the NYSILL transmission format. Medically-oriented requests +are sent to the Regional Medical Library network via the Medical +Research Library in Brooklyn and may be sent to the requesting library +directly or via LILRC. + +If the item is not available from any of these sources, a report is +teletyped to LILRC and we send it on to the requesting library. + + +Billing + +Bills are sent quarterly unless a library asks that it be billed +monthly or semi-annually, or annually as part of the dues. The gold +copy (part 4) of the interlibrary loan form is included with the bill +unless a library retains it when initiating the request or indicates +the copy need not be returned. + + +Cancellations + +Occasionally, libraries find it necessary to cancel a request. It is +understood that if the item is in the process of being supplied the +requesting library will be charged for the completed loan. + + +Delivery and pickup + +The Council drivers stop at each library which has a pickup or delivery +to be made (public libraries send materials to LILRC via their +respective systems). While the drivers stop nearly every day at the +heaviest users, we do not know you have something for us unless you let +us know. If you are supplying a monograph or photocopy, or have a book +to return, _call and tell us_. + + +Microforms + +INS tries to obtain needed items in a form usable in the borrowing +library. If the supplying library cannot produce a hard copy of a +microform it is lending, and if your library does not have an +appropriate reader, we will try to have a copy made (if there is an +additional charge you will be notified in advance) or tell you where +your patron can read or copy the material himself. + + +Photocopies of missing pages + +Missing pages from monographs and serials may be requested in the usual +manner. For an additional fee, INS will try to obtain copies suitable +for binding, printed on both sides. + + +Recall + +It is understood that the lending library may recall a book needed for +one of its own readers. + + +Renewals + +Please request a renewal before the date due noted on the request form +or in the volume. For books received from LILRC member libraries, call +the LILRC office and give author, title, date due, library from which +borrowed. Renewals will usually be granted for two weeks from date due +unless a lending library has indicated otherwise. + +Books received from the State Library or through NYSILL or the Regional +Medical Library must be renewed directly with the lending library, not +LILRC. + + +Returns + +Books received from LILRC should be returned via our driver. Call and +let us know you have a book to be returned. + +Books received from the State Library or through NYSILL or the Regional +Medical Library should _be mailed directly to the lending library_. The +book usually arrives with a return label. The package in which it comes +will give information regarding return address and insurance. + + +Status reports + +Requests are processed and reports submitted to the requesting library +as rapidly as possible. It is not always possible to give an immediate +report on the status of an outstanding request in the process of being +searched at a member library. Please hold requests for status reports +to a minimum. + + + + +Guide to the use of LILRC Interlibrary Loan Request Forms + + +The number of interlibrary loan requests received by LILRC is steadily +increasing. In order to process the requests efficiently we ask that +requests be submitted either on the LILRC interlibrary loan request +form or via teletype. + +Please do not send requests on lists or in other formats. Telephone +requests can be accepted only for a limited number of urgent requests. + +Use the "book" request form for all monographs, reports, whole volumes +of proceedings, transactions, congresses, etc. + +Use "serials" request form for all articles from periodicals, papers +from transactions, proceedings or congresses, and for chapters or other +sections of books. + +Please use LILRC interlibrary loan request forms only for requests sent +to LILRC. + + + + +INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING SERIAL REQUEST + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------ +DATE OF REQUEST: (1) YOUR REQUEST #: (2) DEWEY NO.: (3)| LILRC USE ONLY +REQUESTING LIBRARY: (4) USER: (5) |DATE DUE (17) + STATUS: (6) |--------------- +SERIAL: (7) |NBELS |NHEMH + |NBETG |NHUHI +VOL./ISSUE: (8) DATE: (9) PAGES: (10) |NCSHB |NHUI (16) + |NEAH |NKIPM +AUTHOR: (11) |NEMMC |NMELA + |NFARUA |NMON +TITLE OF ARTICLE: (12) |NGCA |NNHPJ + |NGCCC |NNOPOVA +VERIFICATION/ (13) |NGCE |NOWNI +SOURCE OF REFERENCE: |NGCG |NOWU +--------------------------------------------------------|NGCNLS |NSBSU + LONG ISLAND LIBRARY | LILRC USE ONLY |NGLCM | -H + RESOURCES COUNCIL | |NGLCW |NSELC + |TRANSMITTED: (14) |NGLH |NSM +BOX 31, BELLPORT, N.Y. | |NGRNS |NSOAS + 11713 |FINAL STATUS: (15) |NGVP |NUPB + | |NHAPSA |NWEBE + (516) 286-0400 | |--------------- + | +SERIAL-1 | + +PLEASE TYPE ALL INFORMATION + + 1. _Date of request._ Fill in date you are submitting your + request to LILRC. + + 2. _Your request #._ Libraries submitting many interlibrary + loan requests often number the requests consecutively each + month.

If a renewal is necessary, ask + for it before the date due. If a book is lost, notify the + Council and pay the bill promptly. Your library is + responsible for all books it borrows on interlibrary loan. + Books received through NYSILL should be returned directly to + the lending library, not to LILRC. + + _Limit_ the number of items you request on behalf of any + reader at one time. Materials on a given subject should not + be monopolized by one patron in the region, and deadlines + and due dates must be honored. + + _Notify_ us when you have a book to be returned. + + + + +How to be a good lender: + + + _Answer promptly_ and courteously when you receive a + teletype message, telephone call or typed forms by mail or + courier. The library you supply today may supply you + tomorrow. + + _Reciprocity_ is the key word. + + Please say "_yes_" only when you are prepared to supply the + photocopy or volume quickly. If you cannot fill a request, + let us know promptly so that we may try to locate the item + elsewhere. It is not fair to keep any library's patron + waiting. A quick "No" is preferable to a drawn out "Maybe." + + _Notify_ us when you have an item ready for us to pick up. + + _Have items ready_ for pickup at the designated spot when + the driver arrives. + + _Identify_ all photocopies with our request number (if + given) and the title and issue of the journal from which + they are made. + + + + +APPENDIX A + +Useful tools for interlibrary loan: + + +New Jersey State Library. _Interlibrary loan, photocopy and reference + procedures manual._ + Copies available upon request: New Jersey State Library, + Interlibrary Reference and Loan Service, 185 W.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
