What is the Consortium Loan Service?
George Mason students, faculty, and staff may borrow books and have articles sent directly from other WRLC (Washington Research Library Consortium) libraries rather than using the standard interlibrary loan procedures common to all libraries. This direct borrowing service allows students and faculty to receive books and articles from other WRLC libraries more quickly (generally within 2 business days). Please note: students and faculty requesting items to be sent to the Prince William campus need to allow somewhat more time for delivery of the item(s).
