InterLibrary Loan (ILL) & Document Delivery

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a cooperative program in which libraries make materials from their collections available to patrons from other libraries. ILL service is available to all SCF students, faculty, and staff. 

The SCF Libraries participate in two ILL programs which are available to SCF students, faculty and staff.

• SCF does not place ILL requests for textbooks.
• Please note that you will be charged a $75 fine if your ILL book becomes overdue or is lost.  The fine will be waived when the ILL is returned, the cost of the item has been paid in full, or a replacement copy has been provided.
• If you have questions, contact the Reference Desk  941-752-5305, Reference@scf.edu

This law is predominantly applicable to ILL requests for copies of articles/chapters.

The copyright law of the United States (title 17, United States code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
