Interlibrary Loan Policy

When materials are available in the Fontbonne University Library, patrons are expected to retrieve the material themselves. If books are not available at Fontbonne, but are available in the Bridges or MOBIUS system, students may request them through the catalog and pick them up at the circulation desk. When books (or dissertations) are not available in MOBIUS, they will be requested through interlibrary loan. All journal articles which are not available in the Fontbonne collection must be requested through interlibrary loan. Audiovisual materials are generally not available through interlibrary loan.

Most interlibrary loan requests can be satisfied through the cooperative OCLC/LVIS network at no cost. If the material can only be found outside of that network (including most dissertations), the student or staff member will be notified as to the probable cost. The patron can pay for this transaction if he/she chooses, but the library will not support interlibrary loan costs beyond the LVIS system.
