Legal Notice

Important Copyright Information

WARNING CONCERNING COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research". If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use", that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

Calumet College of Saint Joseph reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law. If this is the case you will be notified.

Terms of Service

By registering and submitting requests for interlibrary loans you agree to all of the following terms:

Foreword

Specker Library requests interlibrary loan materials that we do not own from other libraries. As such, failure to return materials in a timely manner reflects poorly on the library, and Calumet College of St. Joseph as a whole. We expect our users to make a strong attempt to return materials on time, and undamaged.

On Fines

All fines the college recieves as the result of late, lost, or damaged materials will be passed on to you. These fines are dictated by the lending institution, which means they are beyond our control. Please note that some institutions may charge the library upwards of $100 or more!

If you are billed for a lost book and still have it in your possession, please return it and we will waive all applicable fines designated as replacement costs. Late fees will still remain your responsibility.

The library policy which allows the donation of canned goods in lieu of fine payments does not apply for ILL materials. Unpaid fines may restrict your graduation status, and your ability to check out additional materials.

Loan Periods

We expect materials loaned from other libraries to be returned on the designated due date. Because Calumet College of St. Joseph does not own the materials, we must honor the requirements and policies of the lending library. This means that loan periods and renewals may not be the same as locally held materials.

Privacy

Any personal information collected at registration is only viewed by library staff, and only then to process and deliver your requested materials. Please do not input fraudulent information as this will only hinder our ability to serve you.

Additional Information

You may wish to read the ILLiad' FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). The FAQ may answer other questions you have about the ILLiad' interlibrary loan system. As always, feel free to contact the library with any questions and concerns you may have.

By Selecting "I Agree" you aknowledge that you have read and agree to the terms listed above.
