Are there fees for using ILL, and how long does it take?
Answer
There are no fees for Interlibrary Loan, but you'll be told if there are any copyright or borrowing issues (loaning library does not share the resource).
How long does it take?
-
Articles and Scanned Chapters: Usually available to download to your ILL account within about a week.
-
Physical Books: These generally take 1-2 weeks to arrive and will be ready for pickup at the Circulation Desk.
You'll get an email as soon as your item arrives. Keep in mind that it's often hard to get e-books through this service because of publisher rules.
