1. Who may use this service?

Interlibrary loan (ILL), is available to all Antioch college and university students, faculty, staff, and emeriti. We make every effort to fill every request. We cannot offer ILL services for Yellow Springs residents. The Yellow Springs Public Library can provide that service.

2. How to request items throught the interlibrary loan office

Requests can be sent via email to sandy.coulter@antioch.edu or richard.kerns@antioch.edu. Requests can also be phoned (937-769-1240) or faxed (937-769-1239).

When making requests, please include complete citations for articles, and as much specific information as possible for books and videos, such as publisher, author and edition.

You must request a renewal approximately one week before your book or video is due. The loaning library renews books at their discretion but usually Interlibrary Loan books can be renewed at least one time.

3. Picking up and returning interlibrary loan materials

The interlibrary loan office will notify you when your material has arrived either by phone or email. Patrons are welcome to stop by the office or call 937-769-1240 to check the status of their requests. Materials can be picked up any time the library is open. Please come to the processing office or inquire at the circulation desk.

BOOKS: Please Do NOT remove the band from the book. We have completed all the paperwork. The book is ready for you to take.

PHOTOCOPIES: Articles will be sent electronically to your student email account as a .pdf file.

When you are returning an ILL book, please bring it to the circulation desk or the interlibrary loan desk in the processing office. Please do not return ILL materials to their originating libraries.

4. Direct borrowing at other OhioLINK libraries

OhioLINK member libraries provide all local Antioch University students, faculty, emeriti with direct borrowing privileges.

You must have a current Antioch I.D. or Antioch library card and one other form of identification, such as a driver's license. When borrowing directly you are subject to each library's procedures and policies for borrowing.

All residents of Yellow Springs can obtain a library card from the Olive Kettering Library. This card would allow direct borrowing from other OhioLINK libraries, but would not allow access to off-campus database access. Local residents are also encouraged to obtain a card from the Yellow Springs Public Library. Please contact the Olive Kettering Library for more information.

5. GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS NOT RESIDING ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUS

Students who do not live in Ohio are limited in the type of interlibrary loan service they may receive.

You do have the same borrowing privileges for Antioch library materials as all other Antioch community patrons. If we have the book you need in our circulating collection, we can send it to you. We might request postal compensation from students living off the mainland of the United States. We can order articles that you need or photocopy articles from journals in our collection and send them to you via email. We are unable to procure books from the other libraries and send them to you. Your local public library should be able to provide you with interlibrary loan service for books and articles. If you have any questions regarding interlibrary loan, please contact us by phone or email.
