OhioLINK services have made many kinds on Interlibrary Loans unnecessary. Online borrowing and electronic full-text sources such as those available under SIRS, LexisNexis, and others, fulfill many needs which formerly were only met through Interlibrary Loan.

Interlibrary Loans (ILLs) can still be arranged through the Clark State Library under the following guidelines:

Eligibility:

• ILLs are available to currently enrolled students and are limited to five per project.
• Current faculty, staff, administration, and trustee: there is no limit as to number. Employees who are also students elsewhere, however, should expect to get ILL service from the library of the institution where they are enrolled. The CSCC library will be happy to get ILLs for staff whose external course work is connected to a Clark State project.

Scope of ILL Service:

• ILLs must be related to CSCC curriculum, current and under development,
• Or, related to committee work,
• Or related to job assignment, assigned research, grants, etc.
• Personal interests unrelated to the college's mission cannot be accommodated.
• Requests from family, friends, etc., cannot be honored.

Copyright provisions that affect Interlibrary Loan:

• Our Library can request no more than five photocopies of articles out of any given journal during any calendar year.
• Our Library can request only one photocopied article out of any issue of a journal, and not even that if it constitutes the entire editorial content of that issue.
• We must refuse requests that violate the above guidelines. ILL service users should also be aware that they can very quickly use up the institution's eligibility to acquire photocopies from a particular journal.

Procedure:

• In almost all cases, books should be available through OhioLINK.
• For photocopies of articles not available through online services, fill out the photocopy worksheet available online or in hardcopy at the reference desk.
• Keep the pink copy and send or turn in the other copies to a librarian.
