Short loan books are processed upon academic staffs' submission. Library staff processes short loan books on a first-come, first-served basis. For best results, we suggest that you submit short loan lists one month before the beginning of each semester. 

Please note: Processing times are approximate and will vary depending on the time of the semester, the amount and availability of materials, and other factors. Library-owned materials needed for short loan are often out on loan and must be recalled before they can be processed.  This can cause significant delays. Although we are committed to making short loan books available when needed, we cannot guarantee processing time.
