It generally takes articles a few days to arrive, and books take between 1 and 2 weeks to arrive, as they come in the mail. Some items can take longer, especially rare items. If you need anything in a short time frame, you can always ask a librarian for guidance. Call 508 565-1538 for the Interlibrary Loan Office or 508 565-1313 and ask to speak with a librarian.
