Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary loan is a free service offered
to KPC students, staff and faculty for course related research.
All other requests should be referred to your local public
library.
You must have a current library card to
request materials through Interlibrary Loan.
Interlibrary Loan requests from patrons
who are not in good standing will be denied, regardless
of user status.
If library materials are lost or damaged
while in your possession, you will be responsible for any
replacement fees incurred. You will also be responsible
for any overdue fees if items are not returned on time.
Interlibrary loan requests for textbooks
that are available in the campus book store will be denied.
Library staff will accept no more than three
Interlibrary Loan requests per day per person. The maximum
number of Interlibrary Loan books checked out to one person
at a time is three.
Request forms are available in the library
at the circulation desk.
Please check KPC's collection
before requesting items
Internet Usage Policy:
In support of the Library's
Mission Statement to provide adequate access to resources
that will aid library patrons in their pursuit of information
and life-long learning, the KPC Library is pleased to offer
access to the Internet through a graphical web browser.
The Internet as it exists today is a vast uncontrolled network,
global in scope and diverse in content. Because of this,
patrons are cautioned they may find information in the Internet
to be: reliable, dishonest, uplifting, offensive, current,
dated, questionable, or illegal.
Guidelines:
- Internet access is on a first-come first-served
basis
- Please use your time here for serious
research -- do not use library computers to "surf
the web', participate in chats, MUD's MOO's, email or
games. These activities are discouraged because they can
consume a great deal of time and bandwidth resources
- Given the nature of research, the library
will not impose time limits on your Internet access, but
asks that you be considerate of others waiting to use
terminals if all are busy
- Library staff is available to help you
with basic Internet navigation questions and search strategies,
but it is strongly suggested patrons take advantage of
courses offered here on campus (e.g., CIOS 119 and LS101),
online tutorials, books, and hands-on practice to become
comfortable in searching the Internet
- Understand that some information found
on the Internet is protected by copyright law, and patrons
will assume responsibility for any infringement
- Printouts are available to library patrons.
The first ten pages are free, with subsequent copies costing
10 cents per page. Please save paper by printing out only
what you need
Be aware that library patrons not in compliance
with these guidelines, with UAA's Policy on Appropriate
Use of Computing Resources or with state and federal regulations
regarding Internet usage will be asked to leave, and in
extreme situations, may have their Internet access in the
library revoked.
