Checking the progress of your interlibrary loan requests

The Interlibrary Loans Service usually supplies requests within a one to two week period from when a request is received. Some requests may take longer, depending on the document supplier and the urgency of the request.For example, obtaining a book from overseas may take some weeks. Articles tend to arrive more quickly than books. On average, all items are received within 14 days from date of request.
