How long does it take for materials to arrive?
Most materials are received within two to three weeks. Because the process is dependent upon responses from other institutions and delivery systems, delivery time may vary widely. Some materials, e.g. items which are difficult to locate, may take considerably longer than average. A few items may never become available for borrowing. Try to allow adequate lead time when making a request. If you have a specific deadline by which you need the material, indicate upon the form where it shows a "need-by-date." We will try to obtain the item by that date or will cancel the request if it cannot be obtained within that time.

Library - Interlibrary Loan
Show All Answers
1.
What is the procedure for obtaining materials through Interlibrary Loan?
Interlibrary loan request
forms are available online
and at the Information Desk. The reference librarian will be happy to assist you. Please fill out the form completely and indicate the date no longer needed.
You will be contacted by telephone or email (as indicated by your choice in your library patron account) when the item arrives. The item will be held for you for five days. If the item is not picked up in the time allotted, it will be returned to the lending library and a cancellation notice will be put into your patron record. Three cancellation notices will result in ILL privileges being revoked. If you request material that cannot be obtained through ILL, the pertinent information will be noted in your patron record.
Interlibrary loan requests will be limited to three per borrower at a time. Requests for copies of periodical articles that do not need to be checked out are not limited.

How long can materials be kept for use?
Materials are checked out for the length of time the lender allows. Interlibrary loans cannot be renewed. In cooperation with the lending library, we are obligated to return all materials on time. Interlibrary loan service is dependent upon the cooperation of many libraries and their staff. Please help by returning your materials on time. Consistently overdue items will result in the suspension of interlibrary loan privileges for you and the library.
