Turnaround Times

The time it takes for you to receive your requested item can vary, depending on the type of material being requested and from where the material must be obtained. Providing complete and accurate citations, including ISBN or DOI, will speed up delivery time.

  • Journal article/book chapter requests: two to four days
  • Book requests: one to two weeks
  • More difficult requests: may take longer to acquire. Examples of difficult to acquire materials include best selling titles, Audio/Visual materials, books published within the past year, books published prior to 1900, materials available only from international libraries, and materials that are typically non-circulating (reference books, rare books, etc.).
