Interlibrary Loan: Submitting A Request

Request An Item

If you've determined that Brenau doesn't own the resource that you need, please click the link below to fill out the ILL request form. 

Patrons must have less than $3 in outstanding fines/fees and have no outstanding account restrictions in order to place a request. Patrons may request one renewal per item and it is at the lending library's discretion whether or not to grant the renewal.

ILL Loan Limits

  • Undergraduate students may request up to 5 print or electronic items per week. Graduate students and faculty may request as many electronic items as needed for their research and coursework.
  • Regardless of status, users are limited to 15 print items per academic year due to postage costs. Additional print item requests may be honored if the budget allows, but materials that support your Brenau curriculum will take priority. 
  • Due to copyright restrictions, the library cannot request more than 5 recent articles from the same periodical title per year. The only exception is if the article requested was published more than five years/60 months ago.

Delivery Of Items

  • Loan periods for ILL items are determined by the lending library. Two to four weeks is the common time limit. 
  • Physical items must be picked up within 5 business days or they will be returned to the lending library. If you are unable to pick up within this timeframe, please contact infodelivery@brenau.edu
  • If you are a distance learner, items can be mailed to you. Distance learners are responsible for returning materials at their own expense using a mail carrier that provides tracking. If an item is lost and a tracking number was not acquired, the patron is responsible for the replacement and processing costs of the item as determined by the lending library. 
  • You may request a renewal of your items at least 3 days in advance of the due date by emailing infodelivery@brenau.edu
