Interlibrary Loans: “Free Fifteen” and what it means

Have you taken advantage of our Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service? If you are unfamiliar with ILL, it is a service that allows you to request articles and books that are not currently a part of the current Himmelfarb collection. If you are interested in learning more about our Interlibrary, or “ILL” service, feel free to check out our ILL guide. Our guide also provides answers to questions such as “How long will my request take?” Or “How much does a rush request cost?” 

GW SMHS, SON, and SPH faculty, students, residents and staff are entitled to 15 free requests through the period of January to the end of June. Starting July 1st, the number resets and our SMHS, SON, and SPH users are able to request another 15 through the period of June to the end of December. The limit will reset again on January 1st.  

Any requests past the allocated 15 will incur a $10 charge. Users will be notified of this before their request is submitted and we will not proceed until the user agrees to pay for the additional request/s. 

As always, if you have any questions you can contact our ILL department at mlbdoc@gwu.edu. We are more than happy to answer any and all inquiries you may have!
