Books will usually take two to three weeks. There are no limits to the total number of orders you may place, but please remember that there is one, lone person doing all the work in ILL, so if you send more than 10 requests at one time, she may have to process them over several days. Copyright restrictions limit the number of photocopies that can be requested through ILL to one article per single issue of a journal and no more than five articles from the most recent five years of any single journal title. These restrictions apply to the entire library, not to each individual. We will notify you if there is a copyright problem with your request.
Charges vary, based on each individual library's policy.
We always try to obtain materials for free or very cheap, but some libraries charge. Students and staff members who make requests related to instruction will be charged only the costs levied by the lending library. Requests placed after the first 20 will be subject to charges. Faculty members who make requests associated with teaching or research in their discipline will not be charged. For personal requests, faculty will be charged costs levied by the lending library.
