The Mendik Library participates as a supplier in the OCLC Interlibrary Loan Subsystem. Our institutional symbol is ZNL. Our OCLC lending policies are available in the OCLC Policy Directory.
The Library is cognizant of the Federal provisions governing copyright. We strive to offer interlibrary loan services in ways that do not infringe the relevant laws. We reserve the right to refuse a copying order if, in our judgment, fulfillment of the order would violate copyright laws.
As a current NYLS student, when you cannot locate an item you need in the Library Catalog, you may be able to borrow a book through Interlibrary Loan.
Interlibrary loan is a privilege that relies heavily on maintaining a good relationship with the lending libraries. Late return of books can damage our relationship with the lending libraries. Compliance with due dates is your responsibility.
Borrowers are responsible for any borrowing charges, overdue fines, or lost book fees charged by the lending institutions.
If you are a member of one of our journals or on moot court and need materials for a journal of moot court project (not for one of your own notes or comments), do not request those items yourself. If you do, you will be personally responsible for any fines, damage or lost book fees. Instead, contact the appropriate member of your E-board (who will then request the needed item on behalf of the journal or moot court).
