We will submit your request to other libraries within one working day. The item's arrival date depends on how quickly a lending library is able to fill your request, plus transit time. Once your item has arrived, you will be notified by email. An item's loan period is determined by the lending library.

If you would like for someone other than yourself to pick up your ILL materials, you must list that person on your personal information page under 鈥淎uthorized Users.鈥�
