What is the difference between placing holds in the Library Catalog and Interlibrary Loan?
The items found in the Library Catalog are owned by member libraries. Permanent card holders may request these items, and they will be mailed from the owning library once they become available. Available items generally arrive in five to seven days. If the item you are looking for is not in the Library Catalog, you may fill out an Interlibary Loan form. These are available at the front desk at the Library. Interlibrary loan requests take one to two months to fill, and are sent from libraries across the United States.
