Interlibrary Loan Guidelines

In accordance with the National Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States 1993, Christiana Care Health System Medical Libraries exchange material with local and regional interlibrary loan (ILL) partners.

The three libraries of Christiana Care are the Junior Board Cancer Resource Library, the Christiana Hospital Library and the Wilmington Hospital Library. The hospital libraries' scope and services differ considerably from those of our Junior Board Cancer Resource Library and those differences are reflected in these guidelines.

Hospital Libraries:

Christiana Care personnel and staff may request interlibrary loan services at their nearest Christiana Care library.

Those requesters who are not affiliated with Christiana Care, should contact their public or institutional library to request materials from the Christiana Care hospital libraries. Christiana Care hospital library materials will only be loaned library to library, through regular interlibrary loan procedures.

The Junior Board Cancer Resource Library:

The Junior Board Cancer Resource Library is a membership library. The Junior Board Cancer Resource Library is able to borrow materials for its members from other libraries.

Lending Policies:

Requesting libraries will submit requests on ALA interlibrary loan forms (or on electronic equivalents) by mail, email or fax. As ILL suppliers, the three Christiana Care libraries will respond to requests within two working days. We will include a copy of the request indicating the date due back to Christiana Care. Renewals will be on a case-by-case basis. The Christiana Care libraries will notify the requesting library promptly when unable to fill a request, and if possible, state the reason the request cannot be filled.

Books loaned by the hospital libraries are due back in four weeks. Audiovisual materials, CD-ROM programs, and journals are not available for interlibrary loan.

Due to the importance of medical information to Christiana Care personnel, some books may not be available for ILL and the lending library may recall materials at any time.
