Answer

  • Probably not -- we recommend you don't request textbooks through interlibrary loan because:
    • the standard interlibrary loan period is 3 weeks with no renewals, so a term loan is not available
    • textbooks are often not held by libraries
    • if libraries have textbooks, they are usually in high demand and not available to another library
