How long can I use an ILL item?
The due date for your interlibrary loan is printed on the book band label. You can also check the due date by logging into the "My Account" section of the library homepage.
The due date for your ILL is determined by the lending library. Some libraries have very strict loan policies with short loan periods, no renewals and some even require that their material only be used in the library. Other libraries have very generous loan periods allowing loans for weeks or even months and renewals.
Articles that have been electronically uploaded to your Tipasa account do not have due dates. However, they will "expire" after 30 days. After that, you will not be able to access the content through your Tipasa account. You can download and save the article to your own device before the expiration date.
How long can I use a PASCAL item?
All items borrowed through PASCAL Delivers can be used for 6 weeks.
They can be renewed once, which will extend the due date by 6 weeks.
ILL Renewals
Interlibrary loans are granted renewal based on the owning library's policy. If you need more time with your ILL, please request renewals through your Tipasa account.
We will contact the lending institution and request a renewal on your behalf. You will receive an email notification when we get a response from the lender. If a renewal has been approved, the item's due date will be updated in your library account. If the renewal request is denied, the original due date will still apply.
Please note that PASCAL and ILL items are intended for short term use. We cannot guarantee that you will have access for an extended period of time. For more information, please refer to our Policies page.
​PASCAL Renewals
PASCAL items have a built in renewal option. To extend your item's due date by 6 weeks, please logon to your Daniel Library account. You will be able to renew the item from your account. If you have problems please call/email the Interlibrary Loan Department or visit the front desk. PASCAL items can only be renewed once.
