Renewing items may take several days while we wait for the lending library to respond to the request. Your due date in ILLiad will change when the renewal is granted.
If the lending library does not grant us a renewal on the item, you will receive a RECALL request by email.
When the library was closed due to COVID-19 during Spring 2020, we added these options for delivery and return of Briggs Library materials and materials requested from other libraries. Should a closure occur again, we will likely reinstate these options. Start by requesting your material through our ILLiad Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service.
