Library Hours
Renewing an ILL
We recommend patrons use NExpress for loan requests first because:
- It is faster than ILL, most items arrive in three days.
- An available NExpress book will often arrive faster than recalling a Middlebury book.
- All items are shipped via UPS.
- Patrons are allowed two renewals, making it possible to keep books for an entire term. (Videos have a shorter loan period.)

Did you know you can now renew ILL items in ILLiad?
From within ILLiad, select “Checked Out Items” from the menu on the left. Open the item you would like to renew by clicking on the request number. Click “Renew Request” at the top of the detailed information page to place the renewal request.
There is a limited window of opportunity for placing a renewal. Renewals can only be placed 10 day before the due date through one day beyond the original due date.
Items already identified as non-renewable will have no button. However, each renewal request is sent to the lender for review, and it is up to the lender to grant or decline our renewal request, so seeing the button in ILLiad is NOT a guarantee of a renewal.
ILL staff will update Millennium and ILLiad with the dates provided by the Lending Libraries, and e-mail patrons when a renewal has been denied. You can check the status of your renewal in ILLiad or in My MIDCAT
