Important thing to note about interlibrary loan requests:

  • I-Share is the fastest way to request books for class.  Items typically arrive in 3-5 business days.
  • Requests through Interlibrary Loan (Libraries Worldwide) arrive 5-10 business days on average.
  • Using the maximum renewals, you will be able to borrow an I-Share or Wheaton book for most of the semester.  I-Share allows for a 28 day loan period with 3 renewals and Interlibrary Loan is usually 3-4 week loan period with 1 renewal.
  • Consider ordering an older edition. They are more likely to be available.

Note to Faculty:

We cannot request textbooks or other physical items to be put on course reserve through interlibrary loan because loan periods given are not long enough for semester use.
