NOTICE: Warning concerning copyright
restrictions.
The Copyright Law of the United
States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or
other reproductions of copyrighted material(s). Under certain conditions
specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a
photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the
photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than
private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for,
or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair
use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in
its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright
law.
Before you continue, you must
read and agree to our Interlibrary Loan Policy:

$.10 per day will be charged for overdue ILLs. If ILL material is
overdue, the patron's borrowing privileges from this library will be suspended
until material is returned.
·
1.9.2 Lost or Damaged
Materials
The patron is responsible for the replacement cost of
the book plus a processing fee to be determined by the lending library.
If the materials are overdue and there has been no contact with the patron
after one week, the patron will owe the fee to replace the book determined by
the lending library.
·
1.9.3 Payment of Accrued
Penalties
Once a fine has been accrued, no further ILL requests
will be processed until the fine has been paid in full.
2.0 Abuse of ILL Service
After two or more overdues, the patron's ILL privileges will be suspended
until the end of the next semester. For example, if the overdue
books are due in the Fall semester, the patron will be ineligible for another
ILL request until the following Summer semester.
Gaston College Libraries reserve the
right to refuse ILL service to any patron who does not follow the Interlibrary
Loan Policy.
