National Interlibrary Loan Code

The National Interlibrary Loan Code is a set of guidelines that libraries follow to facilitate the borrowing and lending of materials between libraries across different locations. It ensures a consistent and ethical process, clarifying how items are requested, held, and returned. This code helps libraries work together efficiently, protect the rights of borrowers and lenders, and maintain the integrity of borrowed materials. It’s a professional framework that promotes cooperation, trust, and fair practice in sharing resources among libraries nationwide.
