The loan period of Interlibrary Loan items is determined by the lending library. As a result, loan periods can vary considerably. The due date will be listed on a cover label when items are checked out. Renewal requests may be submitted online through your ILLiad account, if the lending library allows renewals of that item. However, each request must also be approved by the lending library. Library patrons are notified when the renewal request is either approved or denied.
