NSLS has a contract with Cooperative
Computer Services (CCS) to fill interlibrary loan (ILL) and photocopy
requests for member libraries without access to OCLC. Members must use
whatever sources available at their libraries to fill ILL requests and
requests for items located within the state of Illinois.
Type or legibly print request
on a standard ALA interlibrary loan form. Requests may be faxed, sent
by NSLS van delivery or U.S. postal service to CCS.
CCS uses OCLC to borrow items
and forwards items to the requesting library.
Upon finishing, library will
return item directly to the lending library. Notification that material
has been returned must be faxed to CCS. NSLS libraries will be charged
$10.00 for each photocopy request.

General Information
NSLS members must use every
source available at their libraries to fill ILL requests located within
Illinois through sources such as ILLINET Online. Libraries accessing
OCLC are expected to acquire ILL items from out-of-state libraries only
after exhausting all local means.
NSLS has contracted with
the Cooperative Computer Services (CCS) to fill out-of-state interlibrary
loan and photocopy requests for member libraries without access to OCLC.
Keeping Interlibrary
Loan Paperwork
The Illinois State Library
advises three years for photo copies and more discretionary for books,
etc. The CONTU guidelines require the three years plus current for photocopies:
....." 4. The requesting entity shall maintain records of all requests
made by it for copies or phonorecords of any materials to which these
guidelines apply and shall maintain records of the fulfillment of such
requests, which records shall be retained until the end of the third
complete calendar year after the end of the calendar year in which the
respective request shall have been made."
