How soon do materials arrive?
Materials usually
arrive within 3-4 weeks of the date of the request. Sometimes they arrive much
sooner, but some types of materials (e.g., Canadian census microfilm) typically
take much longer. If material is needed by a certain date, that date should be indicated on the request
form. ILL items should be picked up promptly—loan periods start when the items
are sent, not at checkout.
