How long does Interlibrary Loan usually take?

The time for Interlibrary Loan varies, and it depends if you are requesting a print item or an electronic article. If a library in the area has the source, we can usually get it quickly (sometimes in a few days). If a library in the Worcester area has the source, you can even go right to that library to check out a book or use a resource because you have borrowing privileges at other Worcester area libraries. Electronic materials sometimes arrive within a day or two, because they are scanned and sent electronically. When planning your research, we recommend you give yourself at least 1 week for Interlibrary Loan materials to arrive.
