ILL Request Limits

Your library may set a limit on the number of ILL requests you can submit during a given time period. You can view your ILL Request Limits using the Items from Other Libraries feature available through Your Account. ILL Request Limits lets you view the number of requests you have submitted during the current time period, and the number of additional requests you can submit during the time period.

To view ILL Request Limits:

Click Your Account in the upper right corner of any Search screen, then choose Your Items - Items from Other Libraries.
- The Items from Other Libraries screen displays.

The left column of the screen shows the number of requests you have submitted during the current time period, and the number of additional requests you can submit during the time period.
Your library may specify ILL Request Limits for the following time periods:
- number active – ILL requests are limited to a specified number of currently active requests. An ILL request is active from the time it is submitted until the time it is complete (the borrowed item is received by the ILL lender) or the request is cancelled/unfilled.
  NOTE: A borrow request is considered active from the time it is submitted until the time you return it to your library (for filled ILL requests), or has been deleted (for unfilled ILL requests). A copy request is considered active from the time it is submitted until the time that it is received by your library (for filled requests), or has been deleted (for unfilled requests).
- number per week – ILL requests are limited to a specified number of requests submitted per week. The count is reset to zero at 12:01 AM each Sunday.
- number per month – ILL requests are limited to a specified number of requests submitted per month. The count is reset to zero at 12:01 AM on the first day of each month.
- no limit – there is no limit placed on the number of ILL requests you can submit.
Whether or not a given request counts towards your ILL Request Limit depends on the current status of the request. The following table shows the available ILL request statuses, indicates whether or not the status displays to you when viewing Items from Other Libraries, and whether or not a given status counts toward ILL Request Limits.
