Introduction
This manual has been prepared as a guide to the Information Network Service, the interlibrary loan system of the Long Island Library Resources Council .
The manual contains a description of how the location and delivery service works and the policy on which it is based, as well as standards to which it is expected participating libraries will adhere.
Please do not hesitate to make suggestions and comments regarding this manual and the interlibrary loan service to the Council office.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Our interlibrary loan program is based on the premise that lending among libraries for the benefit of individuals in Nassau and Suffolk counties is in the public interest and should be encouraged. It is impossible for any one library to be self-sufficient, and interlibrary borrowing and lending is regarded by the libraries participating in this program as essential to library service.
It is the policy of the Council that the routines of borrowing and lending are simplified as much as possible consistent with the protection of material. Every effort is made to emphasize speed and to base the service on a spirit of cooperation and trust among participating libraries.
What follows comprise the procedures and standards that have developed gradually and voluntarily in our area--this is what works for us. Changes may be introduced as the need arises.
What may be borrowed
It is recognized that interlibrary borrowing does not relieve any library of the responsibility for developing its own collection. Each library should provide the bulk of materials needed by its users for purposes of study, instruction, information and research.
The borrowing library should make every effort to exhaust its own resources before turning to interlibrary loan. It should also screen requests carefully before transmitting them to the Council, eliminating those which common sense indicates would not be supplied.
