An item may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to arrive for you to use, depending on where we are able to borrow it. Users typically have many questions about interlibrary loan. If your question is not answered in the dialog below, please contact the ILL office in person on the first floor of the Stapleton Library or call 357-3037. Carl Uncover users must come into the Library to fill out the appropriate forms.
Most interlibrary loans are free to users.
Dissertations are the only exception to this general policy. If we are unable to borrow a dissertation for you from another library, we may be able to buy it from a commercial supplier. If we buy a dissertation at your request, you must pay the entire purchase price. You can keep the purchased dissertation. We will always tell you in advance if you will have to pay to obtain an item, and you have the option to cancel your request.
