Beginning January 1st, 2025 Interlibrary Loans will have the following changes of service:
- Only books and audio books may be requested via the Interlibrary Loan service (no DVDs, music CDs, or other media).
- Patrons will be required to pay a $3.00 search fee for each Interlibrary Loan request submitted.
- There is no limit on the number of requests that may be submitted at one time, but a $3.00 search fee will be applied to the patron’s account for each Interlibrary Loan request submitted, and this fee must be paid even if JCLS is unable to find an item to fill the Interlibrary Loan request.
Please note: Interlibrary Loan is a service that gives JCLS library card holders access to materials belonging to other public, academic, and special libraries across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. It is different from requesting that JCLS send an item from another branch in Jackson County to your local library branch for pickup, which is commonly referred to as “placing a hold” on an item. There are no changes to placing holds on JCLS materials.
