The amount of time it takes to receive an ILL depends on the type of request placed, the lending libraries speed in processing, and the method of delivery (electronic delivery, courier, or US Postal Service).
Articles are usually delivered electronically, which means the request may be filled within one to two business days. Hard to find articles will take longer
Books, musical scores, media items, and other physical items may take four to seven business days. Items requested from out of state libraries and hard to find items will take longer.
