How much does InterLibrary Loan cost?
Materials borrowed from LMN Members do not usually have an extra charge unless the item is late, lost, or damaged. Materials (magazine articles, books, etc.) from other libraries may have an additional cost. The librarian will ask your permission before requesting these materials, or you can indicate an amount that you are willing to pay on the request form. Return to the top 3.
There is no charge to you for most materials obtained through interlibrary loan. The library absorbs any charges which must be paid to obtain the material you need. In cases where the documents needed can only be obtained by purchase, you would be notified and, referred to an appropriate source for the material.
There is no charge to current UMBC faculty, staff and students for this service, however, a cap may be set on the dollar amount requested for payment. Borrowing charges are paid by Kuhn Library. Overdue or lost materials, however, are subject to fines and other fees charged by the lending institution which will be passed on to the requestor.
