Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service provided only for VU students, faculty (current & emeritus), and staff. Christopher Center's ILL office obtains, from other libraries, research materials not available in our collections. The average number of working days to fill a loan request is seven. However, depending on the lending library's operations, it may take two to three weeks to obtain some materials. Call 464.5363

Circulation
This is where you check-out and return library materials; find Reserve materials, pick up Interlibrary Loan materials; get change for copiers; purchase copy cards, transparencies, and computer disks; and check the Lost & Found. Have a library-related question? A Circulation Staff member will answer it or take you to a person who can. Call 464.5500
