How long will it take to receive an article or book I requested?
Answer
MLN: A book requested through Minuteman Library Network will usually come within 3-5 business days. If the book is in our library, it should be ready in 1-2 business days.
ILL: Materials requested through interlibrary loan do not arrive on a set timetable. Some articles requested can be delivered in a matter of hours, while others will take weeks to arrive. Books can take days or weeks to arrive. It is best to put in requests for articles at least a week ahead of when you need the materials, and books at least two weeks before you need them. The more time you give the library to get your materials, the better. Don't procrastinate!
*Please note that during FSU session breaks, requests for materials may take slightly longer. Thank you.
