ABC Express works with Appalachian, UNC Asheville and Western Carolina University (all three are part of the WNCLN network) and will usually have the requested material within three days.
Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a way for you to request items not held at ASU, UNCA, or WCU libraries. We use an online software system called ILLiad for our interlibrary loan service. There is no charge for this service. Delivery time for materials requested through interlibrary loan ranges from 2 days to 2 weeks. To avoid delays, please provide complete citation information.
During a campus closure, you can still submit requests for electronic materials (usually journal articles and e-book chapters), but any requests for print books; may be delayed until AppState reopens its campus. Also, some requests for materials held by other libraries may be delayed if those libraries are also closed.
