InterLibrary Loan

Upon studying the links provided on the class blog, I found a program called the Interlibrary Loan (or ILL).  This is a service provided free for students and staff of St. Cloud State.  Its function is to retrieve a book or article from a different library is the campus library does not have what the student requires in stock.  All that is needed of the student is their code on the back of their Student I.D, their last name, and the book or article that they are searching for.  The amount of time a student can have the material would be set by the library from which the material came (unless it is a photocopy of an article, then it need not be returned unless specified).  The only things that may not be loaned out are rare books or items in special collections, reference materials, fragile or large items, electronic books, or most videos and audio tapes.
