Interlibrary Loan Book request cutoff--for students

The end of the semester and the holidays are fast approaching which means that libraries begin to slow down lending books through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

As such, we will no longer request books through ILL for students after Monday, November 28 until after the spring semester begins.  We will continue to request articles through ILL until December 20 when we will close for the semester.

Please stop by the reference desk or contact us through one of our many AskUs points, if we can help you find materials for your papers or assignments.

If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Shuping at shuping_ad@mercer.edu or 478-301-2251.

And thank you for using Interlibrary Loan this semester.

We are still available via e-mail, text, or even IM http://libraries.mercer.edu/tarver/reference/ask-us.
