How long does it take for a book to arrive via ILL?
Answer
The average length of time books take to arrive is nine days, but there is a great deal of variation, with some books coming within 3-5 days and others taking up to a week. Factors that can influence the arrival time include the type of book, time of year, and the lending institution. If you need a book quickly, contact the ILL office for help in determining how long it will take to fill your request.
Wilkes students, staff, and faculty have direct borrowing privileges at Kings College, Misericordia University, LCCC, Marywood University, and the University of Scranton. Picking a book up from one of those schools yourself may be faster than using ILL.
You can check the status of your order in ILLiad by checking the status column of the Outstanding Requests chart.
