Overton Memorial Library strives to have the materials needed
by students of Heritage Christian University. In the case where
OML does not have the material needed, the library will try
to obtain the material from other libraries. Only students,
staff, and faculty from Heritage Christian University may use
the interlibrary loan service.
Books, theses, dissertations, and journal articles can be requested
in accordance with copyright laws. Materials owned by OML and
currently in use cannot be obtained through interlibrary loans.
The patron will be charged a copy and postage fee for the material
loaned. The average time for an interlibrary loan to be processed
is two to three weeks. Loan periods are determined by the lending
library. The requestor will be responsible for late or lost
materials. Loaned materials are not renewable. Loaned materials
must be returned to the circulation desk, not placed in the
drop box. Please fill out the following form as complete as
possible. One form for each item requested.
