Interlibrary Loan

• Books take from 10 days to 4 weeks and arrive by mail.
• Articles take from 24 hours to 2-3 weeks.

You will be contacted when the requested material arrives. Items can be picked up from the service desk on the second floor. Materials not picked up within 10 days of arrival will be returned to the lending library.

Generally, the following types of material are NOT available through Interlibrary loan:

• Periodical issues or volumes
• Some audiovisual material
• Software
• Fragile, rare or valuable materials
• Bulky items
• Special Collection materials
• Reference books
• Textbooks
• Genealogical research material

Books are typically checked out for 2-3 weeks, but the loan period is determined by the lending library.  Books borrowed through interlibrary loan are subject to recall by the lending library at any time during the loan period.

Renewals may be requested by telephone by contacting Emma Thomas at 770.720.5584 or by emailing emma.thomas@reinhardt.edu at least three days before the book is due. Renewal is at the discretion of the lending library. In making a renewal request, provide both the title and the interlibrary loan (ILL) number for each book.

Pick up and return interlibrary loans at the service desk on the second floor of the Hill Freeman Library and Spruill Learning Center on Reinhardt’s Waleska campus.
