When requested material is received, the borrower will be notified via e-mail or phone. Requests may be picked up at the Interlibrary Loan office, located in the Main Library on the second floor in Room 205. If for some reason you are unable to pick up your materials during regular business hours, please call the Interlibrary Loan office to make arrangements to have your materials left at the Circulation Desk of the Main Library, located on the first floor. The lending library determines the loan period, which may range from two to four weeks and the due date will be clearly marked on the interlibrary loan band. Interlibrary Loan materials are subject to recall by the lending library at any time.
Overdue materials jeopardize our ability to borrow.
It is important that items are returned on time. Failure to return ILL materials on time may result in suspension of interlibrary loan service and blocked records at the Circulation Desk. Service to all University of Alabama borrowers may suffer if the Interlibrary Loan office is habitually late in returning borrowed materials to lending libraries. The lending library sets the loan period and the renewal policy. Renewals can be requested when necessary.
