 Renewing Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Materials

Check your ILLiad record or the bands on items borrowed through the ILLiad system for due dates, to determine if an item can be renewed and for renewal procedures.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN MATERIALS  (Borrowed From Another Library)

• Items borrowed from other libraries are covered with a white band. This band indicates whether the item is renewable with instructions.
• Some libraries do not permit renewal and the item must be returned when due to avoid replacement charges. If a library does not permit renewals, return the item and submit another request. We will attempt to borrow the item from another library.
• If the item is already due, ILLiad will not allow a renewal. Return the item and submit another request.  We will attempt to borrow the item from another library.
• Renewals requested via the ILLiad system can only be submitted within the 14 days prior to the due date.
  • Log into your ILLiad record.
  • Select 'Checked Out' under the 'View' section.
  • Click on the transaction number of the item to be renewed.
• These items cannot be renewed by the staff at circulation points or via "'My Library Record."
• When an approval has been received from the lending library, you will receive an email stating that your renewal request has been approved and the new due date.  If the renewal request is denied by the lending library, your email message will indicate that the renewal request has been denied and ask that you return the item on the due date already given. 

DOCUMENT DELIVERY MATERIALS (Borrowed From VCU Libraries)

• Items borrowed from the VCU Libraries' collections are covered with a lavender band.  This band provides renewal instructions and the due date.
