How long does it take to get Interlibrary Loan/Document Delivery materials?
Interlibrary Loan articles generally take 7 to 10 days to reach the Biomedical Library, but frequently take less time. There is no way to predict how long a given item will take, so it is always important to plan ahead when using ILL. Document Delivery generally takes between 24 to 48 hours for desktop or fax delivery. Mail delivery obviously takes longer. In both cases books will generally take longer as they must be sent by mail.
