ILLiad Holiday Schedule

Turnaround time for requested articles and books via ILLiad will be much slower due to the holidays. Most of our lending partners are universities which are usually closed from December 20th through January 3rd. That is few, if any, libraries will be open to fill our requests. We will still be processing your ILLiad requests on the non-holiday workdays but expect delays in receiving your articles.
Happy Holidays!
