Iowa Admin. Code r. 286-1.4 - [Rescinded effective 7/16/2025] Information delivery
(1)
Photocopies of library materials for Iowa residents. The state
library will provide library service to any resident of Iowa. To ensure the
availability of high-demand library materials for in-house use, the state
library may choose not to lend specific library items. In lieu of lending the
original item, the library may choose to provide a photocopy of the requested
material at a nominal charge of 20 cents per page.
(2)
Photocopies of library materials
for nonresidents of Iowa. To encourage interstate resource sharing,
the state library may enter into reciprocal free interlibrary loan photocopy
agreements with out-of-state libraries. For other out-of-state businesses and
residents, the state library will charge a $15 handling fee plus 20 cents per
page.
This rule shall not preclude the state library from participating in interstate library compacts to support reciprocal resource sharing.
