Q. Is there a maximum number of articles I can request through interlibrary loan?

There is no limit on the number you can request! But there may be a limit on how many we can get for you for free.

Copyright law only allows us to request so many articles from the same issue of a journal. Sometimes certain lenders require a fee, regardless of copyright. The library will pay for up to $35.00 per request for undergraduate students and up to $50.00 for graduate students. We generally cover costs for faculty requests. If the cost is higher than what the library can pay, we will ask you if you are still interested in the article, and if so, we will ask you to pay the difference.
