Books on Interlibrary Library Loan (ILL): The borrowing period is determined by the library that owns the book. It is important to return items on time because the material does not belong to the KU Library. Click here to go to the Interlibrary Loan page. Fees for lost Interlibrary Loan books are determined by the library that owned the book.
Overdue Fines: None. If items are not returned thirty days after the Due Date, then you will receive a notice that your records have been sealed until the items are returned.
