Currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff may request materials through our ILL services.
Before making an ILL request check the library and make sure the material is not available either on our shelves or in electronic format through a database. If the material is missing or checked out, please indicate that on your ILL request.
Requests can be made at the Watson Library circulation desk. Alternatively, you may complete the request form above.
Please include the most information possible in your requests.
Please allow 10 days to 2 weeks for the material to arrive. When the materials arrive the patron will be notified, however, you may call (903) 983-8236 to inquire about the materials arrival.
No, there is no limit.
You may collect materials at the Circulation desk in the Watson Library located on the first floor. Return the materials at the same place.
Photocopied articles that you receive through Interlibrary Loan are yours to keep. The replacement cost for lost items will be dependent upon the cost of the least expensive equivalent available plus a $5.00 processing fee.
As stated in our ILL policy, the Randolph C. Watson Library reserves the right to suspend or withdraw interlibrary loan services because of patron abuse, (e.g., consistently returning material late, excessive loss of material, etc). The parameters of the Watson Library ILL service are governed by current copyright law and guidelines, the National InterLibrary Loan Code, the lending library’s policy, and the Watson Library policies and procedures.
Interlibrary loans may be renewed only with the consent of the lending library. Please give the Watson Library a 48 hour notice if you desire to renew a book.
The primary contact for InterLibrary Loans is Matthew Temple. His office is on the first floor of the library. You may e-mail Mr. Temple at mtemple@kilgore.edu or call him at (903) 983-8236 or (903) 983-8237.
