Wait time for Interlibrary Loan:
- 3-5 business days (on average) for articles
- 1-2 weeks (on average) for books
Please note that lending any type of item is entirely up to the discretion of the lending library. Also, once we complete our processing, we don’t have control over how long it takes an item to arrive, so please do not wait until the last minute to make a request. Loan periods and renewals are up to the discretion of the lending library, so we cannot provide a standard loan period for ILL items--and not all items are renewable. ILL service is also unavailable when the library is closed, such as for holidays.
