Most material in the UO Libraries general collection can be borrowed.
You may also borrow material from other libraries through Interlibrary Loan (ILL), for a fee.

You are responsible for knowing the due date of borrowed library material and for returning it on time. Check your LibrarySearch account to view a list of borrowed items and due dates.
All items are subject to recall by other users at any time, including between terms. If a recall shortens your loan period, you will be sent email notification and be expected to return it by the new due date.
You are responsible for returning borrowed material in the same condition as it was in when borrowed.

Eligible UO material will renew automatically unless requested by another user.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) materials do not automatically renew. Submit renewal requests in your LibrarySearch account.
