Special Services Available Through ILL

• KUDZU: Our Library belongs to this regional consortium along with the Universities of Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Alabama, plus Tulane, Vanderbilt, Auburn, and several other southeastern libraries. Kudzu libraries expedite ILL delivery to one another; books may be received in 2-3 days and articles within 1-2 days. Book requests may be submitted directly from a WorldCat search.
• CENTER FOR RESEARCH LIBRARIES: The University library is a member of the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) in Chicago and has access to its collections of more than 5 million items. Their cataloged collection may be accessed from the CRL link under Search and Find. In addition, CRL has extensive holdings of newspapers on microfilm, foreign scientific journals, records of national governments, including the U.S. and Great Britain, foreign doctoral dissertations, U.S. state documents, and African, East Asian, South Asian , and Southeast Asian materials. For more information, consult the CRL Handbook, available in ILL.
• DISSERTATION EXPRESS: Although most dissertations are available through ILL, some of the more prestigious libraries do not lend dissertations, and there may be times when you wish to have your own printed copy of a dissertation. We can purchase these for you for $29.00, paid in advance. They are printed but not bound, and are delivered in 4-5 working days.

ILL Facts and Figures

• Offices: J.D. Williams Library Room 105 (first floor) phone 662-915-5867, fax 915-5453; Science Library 1031 Natural Products Center phone 662-915-5886, fax 915-7549. Open 8am-5pm Mon.-Fri. (For School of Pharmacy and Dept. of Chemistry only).
• Time: Allow 1-2 weeks for delivery of ILL materials, although items from Kudzu libraries will arrive faster. Allow extra time for dissertations, since there is generally only one circulating copy available.
• Loan periods: Determined by each lending library; generally 3-5 weeks.
• Renewals: If allowed by the lender, should be requested through your ILLiad account a few days before the book is due. You will be given a temporary new due date. Then wait a couple of days for the lender to reply, and check in ILLiad to find the final new due date.
• Overdues: Notices are sent by e-mail several times a week. The first notice is a reminder sent shortly before the book is due; the third notice blocks you from using ILL until the overdue material is returned.
• ILL Stats: During FY 2006, we filled 12,662 ILL requests. Another 2,195 requests were cancelled because the material was available in the UM Libraries. We also supplied 14,684 photocopies and loans to other libraries.
