Interlibrary Loan

[GPS students: please see Interlibrary Loan Policies and Procedures for Distance Learning Students for instructions on Interlibrary Loan for distance learning students.]

Please be aware that Interlibrary Loan requests may take up to two weeks to fill. The length of time it takes to fill each request depends on how many requests we have to fill each day, how many libraries we must ask in order to get the article you need, and how soon the lending library can get your request to us. We do not limit the number of requests per person, but in order to be fair, we will process only five requests per person per day. As always, please be sure to fill out all forms completely.

Wellehan Library makes every effort to provide free access to all articles requested, and is able to do so for nearly all requests. However, we may occasionally be unable to find a library that is willing to provide a particular article for free. In that case, we will contact you and let you know what the cost of the article would be (usually $11-$18), and will not move ahead with the request unless you tell us that you are willing to pay for the article. If you instruct us to go ahead and order the article and then do not pick it up, the fee for the article will be added to your library record.
