The University of Florida Smathers Libraries supports IFAS courses and programs through the Interlibrary Loan Department. Materials that are unavailable from a library in your area can be ordered through the Interlibrary Loan Office of the Smathers Libraries. Library staff will arrange for the delivery of books, photocopies and information on websites, by mail or electronically, to your IFAS station. If the University of Florida Smathers Libraries does not own the material you need, the office will attempt to obtain the material from another library.

The following guidelines are intended to help you make the most efficient use of Interlibrary Loan Services.
GUIDELINES
1) You can send Interlibrary Loan requests to our office in several different ways:
**via the Internet -- select the type of material you need from WebLUIS or
other databases, then complete the online
form;
**via selected FirstSearch and Cambridge Scientific databases in WebLUIS;
2) Requests for materials from UF will be processed and shipped within 48 hours of receipt, Monday -- Friday. Photocopies will be sent via fax or Ariel when possible. Two attempts will be made to fax to the number provided by the patron. Books will be shipped via UPS. Please allow at least three weeks for delivery of materials from libraries outside UF.
3) If material is available in electronic full-text, we strongly urge you to produce your information locally. ILL is not responsible for materials that can be gathered by patrons.
4) All materials except photocopies will have a return date indicated. Please return these materials by the due date. UF-owned materials may be renewed through the WebLUIS Electronic Request Services Page. Non-UF materials cannot be renewed.
5) The overdue fine for both UF and non-UF materials is $.25 per item per day. Replacement cost for items from other libraries is determined by the lending library and the patron is responsible for this cost plus a non-refundable $25.00 handling fee.
6) Recalled materials must be returned immediately to UF. Overdue fines for recalled material is $1.00 per item per day.
