How long will it take?

In most instances, books are available within 1 to 2 weeks and electronic access to articles can be provided within 24-48 hours. Delivery time varies depending on the complexity of the request.

Is there a cost?

There is no charge for Eccles Health Sciences Library Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery services. If you are completing a large project such as a systematic review, please note the following:

  • General requests from the campus community will be processed with priority. Systematic review requests will be given second consideration, and work to process them will be done incrementally
  • If it costs the ILL department $500 or more to obtain requests in a given project, this will result in consultation from our team

Before ordering 50 or more documents, requesters are asked to contact the Interlibrary Loan office by phone (801) 581-5282 or via email (ehsl-ill@lists.utah.edu) to give our team a heads up


To check availability or location of materials, consider using:

  • Library Catalog -- look for the EHSL "Find It" button, which offers a means of making ILL requests: Find It image
  • WorldCat First Search -- find items from libraries throughout the U.S., Canada and Britain.
