If we do own the material then please come into the library to retrieve it from the shelves. 2. If the library you are requesting from (i.e. Ludcke or AIB) does not own the material but it is available in the FLO consortium, please request it through "My Account." 3. If the material is not available from the Lesley University Libraries or the FLO consortium, please fill out the Book Request Form. 4. When we have received the material you requested you will be emailed or called (if no email was provided to us) so that you can then come into the library to pick up the material |

OFF CAMPUS / OFF-SITE: |

Articles (copies for you to keep): |
| Materials need to be returned to library (e.g.
books): Please refer to the Off-campus Handbook for details. |
Books, articles, dissertations, and book chapters can be borrowed if available. Certain materials are more difficult to borrow because many libraries do not lend audiovisual materials, rare books, reference books, or textbooks. If you would like to attempt to obtain these materials, please request early in your research process to allow more time.
Document Delivery - Materials are requested and if available are usually received
within 5 business days.
Interlibrary Loan - The amount of time varies widely, from 3 days to a month
or more. Each ILL request is sent to a string of up to 5 lending institutions.
Each institution has up to 4 business days to respond (weekends and holidays
excluded) to the request. A request could therefore take up to 31 calendar days
to move through an entire string.
Copies (usually articles and chapters) will be mailed or emailed to the address
you indicate on the request form. Copies are yours to keep.
Materials other than copies must be picked up at Ludcke
or AIB Library. We will contact you when the requested material arrives.
Items must be picked up and returned to the Library Circulation Desk by the
due date.
Some rare books, research materials and all microfilm/fiche must be used in
the library. Sometimes, it is permissible to make copies of the material to
keep. You will be contacted when the material arrives in the library.
Document Delivery — Renewals vary depending on the policy of each FLO
library. To request a renewal call the Ludcke Circulation Desk 617-349-8850
or email docdel@lesley.edu. For
the AIB Circulation Desk call 617-585-6670 or email aibcirc@lesley.edu
. Overdue fees will accrue on Document Delivery Material and are set by the

Interlibrary Loan - RENEWALS MUST BE REQUESTED BEFORE THE DUE DATE. Renewals
vary depending on the policy of each lending library. In order to renew an item,
please call the Interlibrary Loan Office 617-349-8838 or email libcirc@lesley.edu
a few days before the due date. Some libraries renew for a short period of time
and some will not allow renewals. Be prepared to return the item right away
if a renewal is not granted. Overdue fees will accrue on Interlibrary Loan Materials,
$0.10 per day/book.
Students may request 5 books and 5 articles per week. In total, students may
request up to 15 articles per semester.
Faculty and PhD students may request more items if necessary for their research.
If you are submitting more than 5 requests at one time, please number them in
order of priority.
Lesley University Libraries follows the CONTU guidelines, which is the part of the Copyright Law of the United States, that deals with "fair use" by libraries. Interlibrary Loan is allowed to receive five articles from any one journal title in any one year. When more than 5 articles are requested from one title, the library must pay a copyright fee for each additional article.
