How long does it take?
Journal articles: Requests are usually filled in 48 hours, but budget 3 business days to be safe.
Books: Requests can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks. Rare or hard to find items may take longer.
Who can make an ILL request?
Vanderbilt faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students.
How do I submit a request?
Login to your ILL account with your VUnet ID and password and select the appropriate request form from the New Requests menu.
