Article Delivery (Emory Students, Faculty & Staff only)

Based on the delivery preference you have selected in ILLiad, you will receive the requested article either in paper or electronic form, usually within 24 hours after the request has been placed (Monday-Friday).

1. If you have selected electronic delivery, you will receive an email from your library’s interlibrary loan office notifying you when the article is available and the steps to view the article.

2. If you opted for another form of article delivery, your storage articles will be handled accordingly, with notification of availability coming from your library’s interlibrary loan office.

How to Pick-Up and Return Books or Journals

1. We will notify you by email either when the requested material is available or if an item is unavailable.

2. You can expect to pick-up requested materials 24 hours after the request has been made (except for requests made on Friday and Saturday—these should be available on Monday). Beginning Friday, December 28, at Noon, Level 6 materials with a location of STORTEMP will be inaccessible to both staff and users until Wednesday, January 16, 2008, while the materials are being transferred back to Level 6.
