• KUDZU: Our Library belongs to this regional consortium along with the Universities of Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Alabama, plus Tulane, Vanderbilt, Auburn, and several other southeastern libraries. Kudzu libraries expedite ILL delivery to one another; books may be received in 2-3 days and articles within 1-2 days. Book requests may be submitted directly from a WorldCat search.
• DISSERTATION EXPRESS: Although most dissertations are available through ILL, some of the more prestigious libraries do not lend dissertations, and there may be times when you wish to have your own printed copy of a dissertation. We can purchase these for you for $29.00, paid in advance. They are printed but not bound, and are delivered in 4-5 working days.

• Offices: J.D. Williams Library Room 105 (first floor) phone 662-915-5867, fax 915-5453; Science Library 1031 Natural Products Center phone 662-915-5886, fax 915-7549. Open 8am-5pm Mon.-Fri. (For School of Pharmacy and Dept. of Chemistry only).
• Time: Allow 1-2 weeks for delivery of ILL materials, although items from Kudzu libraries will arrive faster. Allow extra time for dissertations, since there is generally only one circulating copy available.
• Loan periods: Determined by each lending library; generally 3-5 weeks.
• Renewals: If allowed by the lender, should be requested through your ILLiad account a few days before the book is due. You will be given a temporary new due date. Then wait a couple of days for the lender to reply, and check in ILLiad to find the final new due date.
• Overdues: Notices are sent by e-mail several times a week. The first notice is a reminder sent shortly before the book is due; the third notice blocks you from using ILL until the overdue material is returned.
• During FY 2010, we filled 21,175 ILL requests for The University of Mississippi Libraries users. We also supplied 24,466 photocopies and loans to other libraries. The ILL document delivery services provided 4,105 items for faculty, staff, and students.

The ILL office is located in Room 104, of the J.D. Williams Library. This is located on the first floor, south of the Reference and Circulation desks. Follow the signs. The Science Library is located at 1031 Natural Products Center.
