Articles usually take 3 days to 1 week.

Typically, the article will be sent to your Lander email address. However, you may need to pick it up at the Library Service Desk.

Request an article through ILL

If you come across an article online that asks you to pay for it, don't do it. Follow the steps on this page to find access at Lander or request it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

You will not get articles overnight. When you request from ILL, it will take time. The Library only fills requests during normal business hours (no weekends), so it will take time to get your article. So if you need it for an assignment due the next day, look for another article instead of waiting on one through ILL. If you need help finding articles, schedule an appointment with a librarian.
