How long will it take to get the item through Interlibrary Loan?

The time varies from hours to months, depending on the request type (copy or loan), the location of the lending library, the speed with which the lending library fills the request and the delivery method used.  Journal articles arrive electronically to the requester's email and thus may arrive sooner than other items such as books, microforms, videos, etc. which arrive via courier.
