Can I renew my Interlibrary Loan?

Answer

Some interlibrary loans are eligible for renewal, while others are not. We recommend requesting renewals 3-5 days before the item is due in order to allow time for the lending library to respond, before the item becomes overdue.
 

Requesting a Renewal

You can request a renewal by logging in to your Interlibrary Loan account and selecting the Transaction number of the item you wish to renew under View -> 'Checked Out Items' on the main page menu.

If the item is able to be renewed, there will be a red "Renew Request" option at the top of the page. After clicking "Renew Request", the page will refresh. In the tracking history at the bottom of the screen, there should be a new entry that says “Renewal Requested”. If the entry is not there, the request has not been submitted, and you will need to fill out an ILL renewal request form at the Information Desk.

If the item does not have the "Renew Request" option at the top of the page (and has not already had a renewal), that means the lending library does not allow renewals on their materials and the item should be returned on or before the due date.

If the item is already past due or has had a previous granted renewal, you will need to fill out an ILL renewal request form at the Information Desk.

You can also contact the Chambers Library ILL department by phone (974-2876) or email (ill@uco.edu).
 

After Submitting a Renewal Request

Chambers Library staff will forward your request to the library that lent us the item. We will let you know by email what their response is within 3 business days. If they do not grant the renewal, you will need to return the item, but you may request another copy after the first one is returned.
