Interlibrary Loan (ILL) processes requests Monday through Friday. Most requests are submitted to lending libraries within a few hours—or even sooner—after being submitted by the patron.
Most articles are received within 1–2 days, with some arriving the same day. Books and other media may take anywhere from a few days to over a week to arrive, depending on the lending library’s location and shipping method.
If you have an urgent need for a document or book, please contact Interlibrary Loan at ill@vt.edu or call 540-231-2322.
