Interlibrary Loan (ILL) and Scan Request: Estimated Arrival Time

Details

Interlibrary Loan requests

ILL requests depend on the availability from other libraries. These timelines are estimates, but barring complications you can expect:

  • Electronic copies of articles and book chapters: 1-4 business days.
  • Book loans from Canadian libraries: 3-10 business days.
  • Print items from international libraries (including the U.S.) may take considerably longer due to shipping method and customs.
  • Physical items that are older, rare, or in languages other than English may take longer to locate and may not be available to borrow.

Scan requests

Scan requests of items owned by the University of Saskatchewan Library can take up to five business days to be filled. Items stored remotely may take longer to process.
