    • From the time the user places a request until the time the user is notified the loan is ready for pickup or the article is ready to be retrieved from the Web: 48/72 hours (articles/loans)
  • Extensive sharing of eJournals

42 Libraries, 250K students, 14K faculty, 33M volumes, 294K transactions to date, 45% loans & 47% articles fill rate
