Does Rowland Medical Library charge for processing an interlibrary loan request for UMC affiliates?
It depends. Requests for books almost always incur a charge to the patron, usually $11.00. Requests for journal articles are free up to $25.00 which is normally sufficient. However if the library has exceeded the copyright limit on a particular journal (applies only to articles from the previous 5 years), an additional copyright fee may be applied and you would have to pay any amount in excess of $25.00. Library staff will contact you before ordering to make certain that you are willing to pay.
