We provide materials that are needed for research purposes and that are not available at the UC Law SF Law Library. Interlibrary Loan services are provided only for UC Law SF faculty, journals, law students, and law school staff.
How much does it cost?
We attempt to borrow for free. If the lender charges more than $15, we pass that cost on to the borrower. You will be notified before the order is placed if a cost is involved.
Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for delivery of print materials and 1 to 2 weeks for PDFs of articles. When requesting print materials, please be aware that the time taken for materials to arrive depends upon the difficulty of the request, the proximity of the lending library to UC Law SF, and how much time lending libraries take to fill the request.
You, the borrower, are financially responsible for any damage to or loss of interlibrary loan materials, from the time you pick them up until you they are successfully received by the UC Law SF Law Library. Materials borrowed on behalf of a student journal are the responsibility of the journal. Should any damage occur, report it to the UC Law SF Interlibrary Loan Department. Do not attempt to repair the damage yourself.
