How long will it take for my book to come in?
Items from our Locust Street offsite storage generally arrive in 24-48 hours.
SLULink and MOBIUS items generally take 3-5 business days.
Prospector items can take 7-10 business days.
ILLiad items are individual to each request. Books generally take more time than articles, but it all depends on if the library we request the item from has it on their shelves and how quickly they can send it out to us.
How long can I keep my requests?
From a SLU Library: 120 days
From a MOBIUS library: 120 or 28 days based on the lending library
From a Prospector library: 21 days
From an ILLiad request: Due dates depend on the lending library. Some libraries will give a long due date, but not allow renewals while others have a shorter due date, but one renewal. If the due date is close and we are not able to renew the item, we ask that you scan any sections you need and return the item so it can be sent back to the lending library.
How do I renew my item?
SLU and MOBIUS items will be automatically renewed twice unless it has been requested, recalled, or it is a part of a reserved library collection. Prospector items are only granted one renewal. Your new due date will be at the bottom of the automated email notification.
ILLiad items: send an email to the xlcirc@slu.edu email address with the TN number of your request
