Dale P. Latimer Library for STAFF

Interlibrary Loan, commonly referred to as ILL, is a service for members of the Saint Vincent Community, with an active SVC ID Card, to request library materials not available at the Dale P. Latimer Library. 

For full detailed information regarding the steps for the Interlibrary Loan Process and FAQs, please visit Dale P. Latimer Library: Interlibrary Loan. 

• Books
• Book chapters
• Journal or magazine articles 
• Some DVDs

Items that cannot be requested are materials already owned by the Dale P. Latimer Library, unless they are marked missing, entire periodicals, reference books, text books, eBooks, and other difficult to obtain items.

*Please be aware that the Interlibrary Loan Office does not guarantee that an item will be obtained, nor can a specific delivery date be specified.

Each ILL request has a nominal $1.50 charge per request. 

As a Staff Member at Saint Vincent, items requested that pertain to your position are charged to your department. For this to occur, the Library must have a signed requisition.
When a request is made, the Library will contact you to see how you wish to go about paying the charge. 

• If we do not have a signed requisition on file in the Library, you will need to get one signed by the head of your department. We will prepare the requisition and send it to you so that you can get the appropriate signatures. It must then be send back to us. 
• Some staff members do not wish to go through this process and wish to pay the $1.50 per item themselves. 
• Requests are processed ONLY WHEN we have the signed requisition on file, or when the staff member indicates they will pay themselves. 

The Dale P. Latimer Library tries to get things at no cost. Sometimes this is not possible, and the lending libraries will charge additional fees. These fees are the responsibility of the borrower, and you will be notified to approve or deny additional costs prior to an item being requested.
