View Interlibrary Loan Policy
General Information
- Interlibrary loan (ILL) is available to current CBU students, faculty, and staff.
- Copies of articles are yours to keep. Books must be returned to the lending library.
- Items available to CBU students at Local Libraries are not provided through interlibrary loan. Students are responsible for obtaining the items from Local Libraries.
- Delivery time varies, averaging 1-2 weeks for an article and 2-3 weeks for a book. We recommend you request an item 2-3 weeks before the material is needed.
- If you are ordering books, we recommend that you order no more than you can read within the loan period.
