Due to lending library closures for the holidays, UVMs Winter Break, and high holiday mail volume this time of year leading to more books getting lost, requests for loans placed after 12/13/24 will be held until 1/6/25, unless we can find a local supplier.
We will continue to process article requests up until 12/20/24 if lenders are supplying. Article ordering resumes 1/2/25 as ILL libraries nation-wide reopen.
Renewal requests that you submit over Winter Break will be processed in January and overdue notices will be generated while the office is closed, but no billing will take place until January 2025.
The ILL office will be closed from 12/24/2024 to 1/2/2025
ABOUT ILL
Interlibrary Loan supplies materials not owned by the UVM Libraries for UVM students, faculty, staff and UVM Medical Center employees.
Interlibrary Loan works best for users with one-time, short-term needs. Users who need materials for long-term use should recommend a purchase.
Check out the ILL & Document Delivery FAQ page for more information about our services.
Document Delivery supplies electronic copies of articles and book chapters owned by UVM Libraries for eligible users. This includes book chapters and articles located in the David W. Howe Memorial Library, Dana Health Sciences Library, the Library Research Annex and the Silver Special Collections Library. Articles and chapters in microform format can be delivered to you electronically as well.
In compliance with UVM copyright policy no more than one book chapter from a single book and one article from a single journal/magazine issue will be scanned and delivered through the Document Delivery service.
How long does ILL and Document Delivery take?
- Articles and chapters usually arrive in 3-5 business days.
- Physical materials (ILL) usually arrive in 7-14 business days.
- Material that is difficult to obtain (e.g. media, rare items, etc.) may take much longer.
