How long does it take to receive Interlibrary loan materials?

Answer

Libraries within the UC system including the RLFs take approximately 3-5 working days.
Libraries outside of the UC system can take longer than 3 weeks.
It's very important to plan ahead when submitting your requests; the time it takes to receive your material depends on many factors.
