Do I have to pay for the item?

The first 25 requests (per semester) are free. Subsequent requests cost $10.00 each.

Is there a limit on how many items I may request?

Yes. Only five requests per week, per patron will be accepted.

What materials can I order?

Journal articles and books.

How long does it take to get my requested materials?

The average request takes approximately two weeks, but books coming from out-of-state may take longer.

What materials are not available through ILL?

Audio/visual materials such as CD's and videos.

What limitations are placed on journal article requests?

    1. Due to copyright infringement guidelines we must not request more than five articles from any journal title during a calendar year. The five articles are limited to those published within the last five years. Therefore if a student requests an article published six years ago (or older), there is no restriction.
    2. If we subscribe to a journal and we have incomplete holdings, we are NOT restricted to five requests per year.
    3. We cannot request an entire issue, only a particular article.
