Turnaround time varies according to the item, the lending library, and the time of year.
Most ILL requests are free to the patron. The library generally covers all costs. If your request would incur a fee to you, we will contact you before obtaining the item. If you know ahead of time that you are willing to pay a fee, you may notify us of the maximum amount you are willing to pay. Providing this information will speed up your request should a fee be involved.
