General Information about Camden County College Library

INTERLIBRARY LOANS

MATERIAL REQUESTS

  • Requests are accepted for books and articles not found in the CamCat catalog. Expect a delay of up to 14 days before requested materials arrive at the Blackwood campus.
  • Requests are accepted for CDs, DVDs, and videos, but due to the policies of many of our lenders, these may not be obtainable. 

WHEN THE ITEM ARRIVES

  • You will be contacted by email when your item is ready for pick-up, and it will be held for you for 2 weeks at the Blackwood Campus Library.
  • The lending library assigns the due date for the item, usually 2 to 3 weeks.
  • If the item requested has not been picked up before the end of the 2 weeks, it will be sent back to the lending library.
  • If the item cannot be borrowed, you will be contacted by email.

USE, FEES AND FINES

  • It is essential to return the items by the due date marked on the item.
  • FINES
    • Fines will accrue at $1 per day for late items.
    • After $10 has accrued, you will be billed for the item.
    • Library privileges are revoked after $5 in fines has accrued. This will affect your access to online resources from off campus.
  • There is no fee to use interlibrary loan; all you need is a current Camden County College Library Card.
  • You will be responsible for any replacement costs for lost items and any charges for damage to materials. The borrower (and not the library) will be fully responsible for any replacement costs for lost items.

RECALLS

  • All items are subject to recall by the lending library at any time, even before the due date. If you are contacted, please return items promptly.
  • A recall indicates that a user at the lending library needs the item, and the loan system must honor these requests.

RENEWALS

  • Request a renewal before the item is due. Items will not be renewed after the due date.
  • Renewal confirmation may take from 1 to 4 days. We will contact you when the library has responded; not all libraries are willing to grant renewals to extend the due date.
  • The lending library will set the new due date.
  • Items may only be renewed once.

RETURNING ITEMS

  • Late returns will jeopardize our relationships with lending libraries - be on time.
  • Return all interlibrary loan items to Blackwood Campus Library .
  • Items cannot be returned to the Camden County Public Library System or the Cherry Hill Public Library System.

CANCELING A REQUEST - Contact the Library if you no longer need an ILL item.
