Interlibrary Loan Code

The Interlibrary Loan Code is a set of guidelines that libraries follow to share resources with each other efficiently and responsibly. It ensures that patrons can access materials not owned by their local library by borrowing from other libraries, often across regions or countries. The code covers issues like borrowing limits, lending procedures, and responsible use of borrowed materials, aiming to facilitate access while protecting the rights of both lending and borrowing libraries. Overall, it helps create a cooperative system where libraries work together to serve their communities better.
