The number of days it takes to fill an ILL request depends on a number of variables, such as whether it is an article request or a book chapter, what format it's in (print or electronic), how common the resource is, and how fast lending libraries respond to our request.
Take a look at this quick guide to ILL for more information or visit the library's interlibrary loan page. Please reach out to our ILL staff at APUS-ILL@apus.edu if you have further questions.
