Interlibrary lending FAQ |
The SAMRC’s interlibrary lending service provides researchers with photocopies, books and other material not available at other institutions. Who qualifies for interlibrary lending? How to submit requests? How long will delivery take? Are there limits to what can be sourced? Certain categories of material are not readily available through interlibrary lending (e.g. rare books, special collections, audio-visual materials, reference works and entire issues of periodicals). Photocopies can be made of these documents (subject to the Copyright Act 98 of 1978). Copyright law limits copies to no more than one article from a single issue and no more than 10% of the specific issue to be copied for the same client. How much does it cost? What is the loan period? Who must the material be returned to? |
