Facts about InterLibrary Loan (ILL)

Books often take 5 to 7 working days to arrive from other libraries. Articles usually arrive in 1-3 days but may take longer.

Will there be a charge?

A Park University Library employee will call or email you before completing the request if there will be a charge for requesting the item. This is rare.

Fees will be assessed for overdue, lost, or damaged items. Unreturned items and unpaid fees will result in holds on University transcripts.

How will I know when my item(s) has arrived?

When the item arrives, a Park University Library employee will notify you at your Park email address.

How long will I be able to keep the item(s)?

The loan time is usually four weeks, but it varies depending on the library lending the item.

Will I be able to renew the requested item(s)?

Some libraries will let you renew the book, but others will not. Contact the Park University Library at (816) 584-6285 or send an email to OnlineILL@park.edu to ask whether your ILL items may be renewed.

Where do I pick up my requested item(s)?

Kansas City area students and employees pick up books at the Norrington Center book lockers. For others, we will mail your books to your address on file (postage paid both ways). Articles are sent to your Park email address as found in the library's records. If your address has changed, please contact us to update your information.
