Request Interlibrary Loan when you need materials that are not available in the Mundt Library and are not accessible online. Interlibrary Loan is a service in which libraries borrow from and loan materials to other libraries.
- Who can request? Dakota State University students, faculty, and staff
- Distance students and students taking DSU classes in locations other than in Madison, South Dakota may use the Interlibrary Loan forms to request delivery of materials to them -- whether the items are located in the Mundt Library or in another library.
- On the Madison campus: Faculty, staff and currently enrolled DSU students may use the Interlibrary Loan Service to get books, articles and other materials that are not in the Mundt Library or not available online.
- What can be requested? fiction and non-fiction books, magazine and journal articles, and non-print media such as DVDs and CDs.
- What cannot be requested? Textbooks for courses may *not* be requested primarily because it is impossible to meet the demand.
- How will items arrive?
- Articles and other short documents will be emailed to you.
- Students attending class in Madison will be notified by e-mail to pick up any books, DVDs, or other media that can't be emailed.
- Media that cannot be emailed to DISTANCE STUDENTS will be mailed; the student pays the cost of shipping such items back to the Library.
- What will it cost? Interlibrary loan services are usually free, with the following exceptions.
- If you receive an item by mail, you will pay the postage to return it to us.
- If the library cannot find a free lender, you may be asked to pay the costs that we are being charged by a lender. You will always be notified and given the opportunity to choose whether to pay or cancel your request.
