Interlibrary Loan Policy

The Chester Fritz Library, University of North Dakota, provides Interlibrary Loan privileges as a service to supplement the collections and electronic resources available on campus and through the campus network. The Library will seek the most cost-effective loans possible, but there are costs associated with the loan of materials. Faculty, staff and students are asked to use Interlibrary Loan services judiciously in conjunction with their research.

  • Interlibrary loan is available to currently registered students (including Distance Education students), current and retired faculty, and current staff of the University of North Dakota. Students whose primary library is Harley E. French Library of the Health Sciences or Thormodsgard Law Library should contact them for services.

  • Interlibrary Loan requests may be submitted by completing:

  • The Library will attempt to notify the requestor upon receipt of the requested materials via e-mail, telephone, or surface mail at the address, phone number on your patron record through the ODIN online library system. However, the requestor should also check the status of the request through the ODIN online library system.

  • Some libraries charge for borrowing items. The Chester Fritz Library will try to find the requested item from a source that does not charge. If such a source is not available, the Library will subsidize an Interlibrary Loan up to $25 per request. The requestor will be responsible for payment of any amount above the $25 limit. The Library will not process a loan request in excess of $25 without authorization from the requestor.

  • Because the costs incurred in the Interlibrary Loan process are significant, it is important that the requested materials be needed and used. The requestor's university account will be charged $10 for each photocopy request not picked up within 30 days of receipt or for each book or other returnable item not picked up before its due date.

  • An interlibrary loan renewal may be requested once only. A request for renewal is not a guarantee. Granting of renewal and length of renewal is at the discretion of the lending library. Some libraries do not allow renewals, and the band on your item may say "NO RENEWAL."
    To request a renewal of your interlibrary loan item, ask at the Circulation desk or call us at 777-4631. Please request your renewal about a week before the due date. You will need to check with us for the new due date. If renewal is denied, the item needs to be returned by its original due date.

For additional information, contact the Interlibrary Loan Office, Second Floor, Chester Fritz Library, telephone: 777-4631, or the Reference Desk, telephone: 777-4629.
