Lanter Lost/Damaged Shipment Claim Form 

Since January 2001, the Association of Southeastern Research has provided "Kudzu," a system of linked online catalogs at participating research libraries across the Southeast.  Kudzu connects more than 300,000 students and faculty to more than 30 million volumes. The system allows users to browse the participating catalogs using a single search interface and to submit interlibrary loan requests directly to the source library. Most documents can be delivered to the user within a few days.

ILL & Document Delivery

Key to the success of the Kudzu system is the rapid delivery of ILL materials to Kudzu participants.  All Kudzu libraries agree to provide expedited delivery to Kudzu partners.  To facilitate this, ASERL has contracted with Lanter Delivery Service to provide courier services between 12 of the 17 Kudzu participants. (Lanter Delivery participants are marked with an asterisk above).  The other Kudzu libraries provide expedited deliveries using various other services.

Kudzu participants have also developed a set of principles that govern the ILL practices for project participants.  Click here to see Kudzu's ILL policies and procedures.
