Interlibrary Loan Policy
KU Law Faculty and Students ILL request form
Who is eligible?
KU Law faculty, staff, and students may utilize the ILL
services of the Wheat Law Library. Emeritus law faculty, retired law
staff, law adjuncts and visiting law faculty may also use the ILL services. Individuals
not affiliated with KU Law should request ILL services from their academic,
public or corporate library.
If the item you are interested in appears in the KU online
catalog with a "Law Library" location but you cannot find it on the
shelf, please submit a search request to the Circulation desk. In most
cases, Circulation staff will need to complete an initial search before
we will accept an interlibrary loan request. If there is a reason why
you cannot use KU's copy please submit an interlibrary loan request
and note the reason.
Interlibrary loan guidelines prohibit interlibrary loan
requests for items which are already held by any KU Library.
Other libraries interested in borrowing from the Wheat
Law Library should view the information regarding
policies and associated costs.
What can be requested
The ILL department can attempt to attain copies and loans
of practically anything.
Primarily photocopies and books are available for loan.
Some types of material such as video cassettes and dissertations may
be more difficult to borrow.
There is no limit to the number of items you may request.
However, if turning in a large number of requests at one time, it is
a good idea to prioritize them. It may not be possible for staff to
process all of them immediately, and if many items arrive in a short
space of time, it might be difficult for you to consult them in the
typically short time that lending libraries allow.
How to submit requests
Patrons may submit interlibrary requests one of four ways:
What are the costs?
There is no charge to valid KU Law faculty, staff, students
and affiliates who are in good standing with University of Kansas Libraries
for interlibrary loans.
Patrons are responsible for paying any overdue or replacement
fees set by the lending library for late, damaged or lost ILL items.
