How long will I be able to borrow my interlibrary loan for?
Answer
Journal articles will usually be supplied to you digitally. You will have an initial 30 days in which to download your article, and will then be able to retain it for an average of 3 months (depending on the publisher).
Books and theses supplied through the service are usually loaned for 3 weeks, on average. However, loan periods are set by the issuing institution and can vary. On some occasions, the issuing institution will stipulate that an item can only be used on a reference basis in GSA Library and cannot be taken away. We do not have any latitude to waive or vary these restrictions.
