Lending Guidelines for Borrowing Libraries

Rohrbach Library provides free loans to all organizations within Pennsylvania and the continental United States. We are reciprocal borrowers and lenders. Reciprocity is preferred, but not essential. If you would be interested in a formal reciprocal agreement with us, please contact kupill@kutztown.edu

We use UPS, IDS (#141). Interlibrary Loan accepts requests from non-OCLC libraries via email, snail-mail, and telephone. We also participate in Access Pennsylvania.

We provide non-returnables (copies of articles or book chapters) via Article Exchange. Electronic retrieval information is provided to the email address supplied in the ILL request. 

Renewals:

Loan renewals should be requested in advance of loan expiration. Loan renewals are granted liberally and according to the renewal dates requested by the borrowing library. Libraries who fail to return items within a reasonable period after loan expiration will be subject to an invoice.

Items Not Loaned:

Archives, AV, Folios, Curriculum Materials, Microforms, Newspapers, New books (published within the last 2 years), Periodicals, Reference, Rental ("Leisure Reading" or "Browsing" items), Reserves, Special Collections, and Maps.
