· In-stack access and loan: Most books and many serials may be borrowed for 6 months, with almost-unlimited renewal (unless requested by another user or if material is otherwise restricted). Shorter loans usually apply to special formats (visual, microform, maps, audio, reference). Some collections do not circulate but may be used on-site. There is no practical limit on the number of items that can be checked out, nor on the number of times borrowed items can be renewed.

· Library to Library delivery: http://www.library.cornell.edu/svcs/borrow/othercul

o Request items be sent to another campus library (Ithaca and Geneva campus) for more convenient pickup; usually 24 hr turnaround. Includes most items from regular circulating collections: books, serials, videos, DVDs, music and microforms. Note: paging for same-library hold not available.

· Article scanning (document delivery): Articles from print journals on campus can be scanned and sent to you electronically; $4.00 per article, but no charge if the item is located at the Library Annex. (Other fee exemptions apply.) https://cornell.hosts.atlas-sys.com/illiad/illiad.dll

· Borrow Direct: Is the book you want checked out, missing or unavailable for other reasons? Get it through Borrow Direct. Borrow books from 6 other peer institutions, with quicker turnaround than you can get through recall in most cases (average 4-day turnaround). 6 week loan, with one additional renewal allowed. http://www.library.cornell.edu/svcs/borrow/bordir

· Recall: If a book is checked out, place a recall and get it within 9 days in most cases. The amount of time until the book is available for you to pick up varies depending on whether there are prior requests, and the length of time the book has already been on loan. Users get a minimum of 2-weeks usage on a borrowed book.
