Can't find what you want in our collections? Request books, media, and full text journal articles and more from other institutions via our document delivery and interlibrary loan service (ILL).
How long does it take? ILL of physical materials can take at least 7 business days, and document delivery of articles can take up to 5 business days. Delivery times depend on the availability at the other libraries and sometimes wait times can be longer. In some cases materials can take longer to arrive.
Please note that complete journal volumes/issues, reference materials, or access to eBooks from other libraries are NOT available for request.
How long can I borrow a book or other media through ILL? Loan periods are determined by the outside institution and renewals or extensions are granted by the loaning library. Please note borrowers are responsible for returning ILL material in a timely manner and any late fees are the responsibility of the borrower.
