It depends on the item you are requesting and which libraries own it:

  • If you are requesting a book, several variables influence when it will arrive:
    • We first ask libraries that are geographically closest to us to send the book -- that usually takes anywhere from 3-7 business days.
    • If the book is only available in a library far away, it could take anywhere from a full week to 2-3 weeks for it to arrive.  
       
  • If you request an article and/or a book chapter, it could take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for it to become available for download in your ILLiad account.   If not many libraries own the item, it will take a little bit longer -- usually not longer than one week.
