Restrictions:

1. We will NOT order a book that Buhl Library owns unless the item is listed as missing. If the book is checked out to another patron, we will put a hold on the item and/or recall it.
2. We will NOT order textbooks for a class.
3. We will NOT borrow items to put on reserve in our library.
4. The Interlibrary Loan Code does NOT permit us to request NEW books (i.e., published within the current year).
5. You may request the renewal of a book only once; the lending library reserves the right to deny any renewal request.
6. Most libraries do not lend audiovisual materials, reference books, reserve books, rare or valuable materials such as manuscripts or old frail books which are difficult to replace, or material in high demand at the lending library.
7. When we request to borrow a book via interlibrary loan, we are asking another library to do us the favor of loaning their material to us. The lending libraries' priorities lie with their own patrons. They are not obligated to fill your request. We must abide by their instructions.
