Interlibrary Loan Service
We want to reassure you that Joyner Library Interlibrary Loan services are still available to ECU students, faculty, and staff. While the Emergency Budget Management Restrictions are in place, however, we can only borrow material from libraries that do not charge fees. In addition, we have had to suspend interlibrary loans that require copyright royalty payments. But be assured, ILL activity is continuing: there are nearly 3,500 free lending libraries in our automated system, including a consortium that supplied 60% of our requests last year. We continue to search for more free lending libraries and we are investigating an interlibrary loan pay per request option that would allow the person making the request to pay for material not available at free lending libraries.
For questions about other library services and resources, please contact Associate Director Jan Lewis (252-328-2267; lewisja@ecu.edu) or the Dean of Academic Library & Learning Resources, Dr. Larry Boyer (252-328-6514; boyerl@ecu.edu). We look forward to working with you to continue to provide the best services possible during these challenging times.
