Interlibrary Loan
and PALCI E-ZBorrow are services available to
members of the Philadelphia University community (students, faculty, and staff
holding a current valid university ID). We attempt to locate and provide books and
journals articles not owned by the Gutman Library. Alumni borrowers are not eligible to use
interlibrary loan services at Philadelphia University. Alumni borrowers should
contact the service at their home institution or at their local public library.
If there are any questions send email to us at ill@philau.edu
or call the Interlibrary Loan Office at
215-951-2580.

to which we subscribe by searching JournalList
(full-text journal finder).

Copyright
compliance
The copyright law of the United
States (Title 17, United States
Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of
copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries
and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of
these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be
"used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or
research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or
reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be
liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse
to accept a copying order if, in it's judgment, fulfillment of the order would
involve violation of copyright law.
