O'Quinn Law Library Interlibrary Loan

The Law Library provides Interlibrary Loan Services to all University of Houston law faculty. Requests are typically filled within 10 business days from receipt of the request. Faculty are responsible for returning all borrowed books in a timely manner, as late returns adversely affect our reputation in the library community, hindering the future ability to borrow items.

1. Placing requests

Requests may be made online at ILL/form.html, by email (hboyce@central.uh.edu), or by submitting a printed form (sample attached) to the Circulation Desk. When filling out the form, please provide as much information as you have available.

2. Delivery of item

Once the item has arrived, the ILL Librarian will have it delivered to you via the daily (M-F) library courier.

3. Renewal policy (books)

Should you require the borrowed item for a longer period than the lending library permits, you may email hboyce@central.uh.edu requesting an extension. The ILL librarian will request a renewal on your behalf, and if an extension is granted, will communicate the new due date to you. Only one renewal per book is permitted.

If a renewal request is rejected or if you need the book for longer than a renewal period permits, please return the book to the Circulation Desk and indicate your continued need for the item. The ILL Librarian will obtain the item for you through another library.

If you have any questions about interlibrary loan policies or procedures, please contact Helen Boyce (3-2286 or hboyce@central.uh.edu).
