Eligibility:

This service is offered to U.S. and Canadian libraries and those affiliated with U.S. Federal, State, and local governmental organizations, including members of the law enforcement and/or corrections community. If you are not affiliated with one of these organizations you may still borrow materials from the NCJRS collection. However, you must contact your local library for assistance in submitting your loan request.

What can be borrowed?

All of the publications listed in the NCJRS Abstracts Database are available through this service. Additionally, many of these materials may also be acquired through the Library’s Photocopy Service.

Costs:

Interlibrary loans within the United States cost $15.00 per item borrowed. Loans to Canada cost $16.50 (USD) per item borrowed. In most cases, loans to U.S. Federal, State, and local government agencies and members of the law enforcement and/or corrections community are free of charge.

Photocopy requests placed through the interlibrary loan service vary in price dependent upon the page length (page count) of the document requested and your geographic location (domestic or outside the U.S.).
