馆际互借
What is it?
Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service that allows patrons from one library to borrow the materials of other libraries around the world through library networks. Roger Williams University is a member of three separate networks that allows us to obtain materials from thousands of libraries of all types.
The ILL Department conducts all interlibrary loan transactions in accordance with the LORI馆际互借代码, the ALA馆际互借代码 and U. S. 版权条例. 有关版权的更多信息，请查看我们的 Copyright LibGuide.
Materials obtained through ILL are for the sole use of the patron submitting the request. 如果您有任何问题或疑虑，请与我们联系 ILL@plunkocity.com or 401-254-3458. We are continually striving to improve the service and welcome all comments that you may have.
Who can use it?
这项服务提供给RWU所有在读学生, faculty, staff, 以及没有图书馆记录的管理员. Anyone having long overdue library materials or a blocked record is not eligible until the record is cleared. If you are having an issue with your account, please call the Information Desk at 401-254-3375.

Plan at least three business days for a non-returnable item, such as a journal article. Feel free to contact the ILL department if you want an update on the status of a particular request.
我可以借多长时间? Can I renew it? How often?
借阅时间由借阅图书馆决定. Past experience has shown that it can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months.
ILL请求可能会更新. However, permission for that renewal has to be granted by the lending library. Therefore, any renewal requests should be made 5 or more days before the due date by emailing ILL@plunkocity.com 或致电401-254-3458.
