Q. How long can I check out a book that I get through Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?

The library that lent the book to us sets the due date, so we can't tell you ahead of time how long you can keep it. The due date will be on the band attached to the book.

We can ask the library that lent us the item for a renewal if you need it longer than the original time; however, renewals are the lending library's choice, so we cannot guarantee that they will renew the item or how long it might be renewed for.

If you need a renewal, please contact the Resource Sharing office at CU-RSTEAM@LISTS.CLEMSON.EDU before the due date on the band. We will ask for a renewal on your behalf; if the lending library cannot renew it, we will order another copy for you.

For more information, please see our Interlibrary Loan Policy Page.
