Reciprocal Borrowing Statement

October 1, 2002

The Washington State Community and Technical Colleges recognize the value of joint collection use of libraries of similar purpose and support reciprocal access to each other's circulating library materials as an alternative to interlibrary loan.

Students interested in borrowing materials from the collection of another institution must present valid identification as required by the lending library and should return materials in a timely manner. Participating libraries will assist each other in retrieving overdue materials, including suspension of borrower's library privileges and placement of holds on college transcripts.

Each library should formulate a statement of lending policy to include information about loan periods, hold and clearance procedures, etc. Each library should inform its users of the purpose of the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement.
