Interlibrary Loan
Articles in journals and books owned by other libraries usually take 1 to 3 business days to arrive. For articles that are found in books and journals that are held by only a few libraries, it could take a little bit longer.
Books owned by other libraries usually take 7 to 10 business days to arrive. If a book is widely held by other libraries, it usually arrives faster than books owned by only a few libraries. Multimedia items such as CDs and DVDs usually take longer to arrive, as fewer libraries are willing to lend these types of items. If you are a distance learner or take classes at a branch or satellite campus, expect to wait 3 to 5 days after the item is received by the UCF Library for it to reach you or your campus.
Document Delivery
Articles in journals and books owned by the UCF Library on the main campus usually takes up to 48 hours to process and deliver to the patron. Articles in journals owned by the library at the Rosen School of Hospitality may take an additional 24 hours to process.
Books and other items owned by the UCF Library on the main campus are usally pulled and placed at the Circulation Desk in less than 24 hours. If an item is misshelved or missing, it will often take an extra 24 to 48 hours before it is placed at the Circulation Desk. If you are a distance learner or take classes at a branch or satellite campus, expect to wait 3 to 5 days after the item is pulled from the shelf by the ILL Department before it reaches you or your campus.
