• FOR HOW LONG MAY I BORROW AN ITEM?

  Books, etc.: The borrowing period is determined by the lending library, so this time period varies. When an item arrives from a lending library, the due date is assigned, and you will be able to clearly see this date when you pickup the material. Some lending libraries will allow renewals for additional lending time. You may request a renewal through the ILLiad online system. You will be notified via FLCC email as to the status of your renewal request. You may also contact the FLCC Library at (585) 785-1371 before the book is due to see if a renewal is possible.

  Articles: Typically you will receive electronic(pdf) versions of your article requests. You will be notified via FLCC email that your article is available and will be given further instructions informing you how to obtain the article.

• I NEED TO PLACE A REQUEST AND I WAS TOLD TO CREATE AN ILLIAD ACCOUNT. WHAT IS ILLIAD?

• HOW WILL I BE NOTIFIED THAT MY ITEM HAS ARRIVED?

  We will contact you via FLCC email when your item is ready for pickup. If we are unable to obtain the requested item, we will notify you via FLCC email as soon as possible.

• RETURNING ITEMS & BORROWER RESPONSIBILITIES:

  Please return items obtained via ILL on or before the date due. Because this is a special loan from another library, it is important to return books promptly so that we can maintain good relationships with lending libraries.

  Books borrowed through ILL are the property of the lending library, not the FLCC library. Borrowers are responsible for any ILL items that are lost or damaged, and must pay any and all replacement & processing costs, as determined by the lending library.

• COPYRIGHT LAW COMPLIANCE WARNING:

  All Interlibrary Loan requests will be subject to the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials.
