Physical interlibrary loan / resource sharing has resumed, however, some requests may be delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic policies at other lending libraries. Quarantine safety protocols for materials may occur at several points along the request process, so your request may take longer than usual.

Please submit requests as you usually would through OneSearch. We will contact you if we are unable to fulfill the request. If a request is able to be filled, you will be notified when it is available for pick up at the library's Front Desk. You can request curbside pick-up or that the item be mailed to you by replying to the 'On Hold' email notification.

Patrons with checked out physical items: ILL / resource sharing items need to be returned and may not be kept indefinitely. You should not return items to any other libraries. You can return items using our outside drop box, at the Front Desk book cart, or mailed back to us:

Placing items on Physical Reserve

3 Days Quarantine + 2 Days Processing = 5 Days before items are available

All items coming into the library have a 72 hour quarantine for worker safety. This includes any times that a professor brings in for reserves whether it is from their own personal collection or item they previously checked out. While we typically have reserve items available either same day or next day, our reserve policy does request 48 business hours before the item is on reserve. So, in total professors need to be prepared for a 5 day wait before the item is available on reserve. As the library collections are closed to patrons, if the item is on the shelf at the library we can pull and place it on reserve without the quarantine.  

Checkout periods

Physical reserve items will also have a 72 hour quarantine after checkout in order to keep our student workers and employees safe. This means a 2 hour reserve becomes a 74 hour reserve and a 2 day reserve becomes a 5 day reserve.  

E-reserve

Due to the quarantining of materials, e-reserves is the best and safest option.
If the item to be scanned for e-reserves is brought into the library for library staff to scan, there will be the 72 hour quarantine before we can handle and scan the item. The quarantine will not occur if the item is currently available on shelf in the library. You can get around this quarantine with your personal items by sending us the PDF of the item you want to have placed on e-reserves.  
The standard guidance towards placing selections from physical books is 10% or up to 1 chapter, whichever is less. While we are not able to scan and put an entire book on e-reserve we can put two or three chapters, depending on length of the book, as long as they are visible only for a set period of time AND only one chapter is visible at a time.  

Ebooks can be placed on e-reserves, however their licenses still apply which may reduce their availability as this controls the number of simultaneous users and the “check out period”.   We have been able to pull selections from e-books as PDFs and place them on e-reserve in the past.  In doing so we do have to follow copyright law and the selections are treated like selections from physical items.
