However, the amount of time needed to receive ordered materials varies. When an item is requested, there is no guarantee the item will be available for loan and that it will be received in an expeditious manner. ILL services are completely dependent upon other institutions' workloads and other conditions beyond our control. Please note that there is a cost to the Guggenheim Library for every Interlibrary Loan request. You will be informed via phone or email when materials are available to be picked up at the circulation desk.
Loans are generally for one month.
The due date is set by the lending library, not by the Guggenheim Library. Please take note that ILL requests may be placed no later than three weeks prior to the end of the semester. If the item is already overdue, it cannot be renewed. The ILL department will request renewal from the lending library and respond to you via email with either a renewal date or a negative reply. Interlibrary Loan materials are only allowed one renewal which is at the discretion of the lending library.
