As a service to ECU students, faculty, and staff, the ECU Libraries provide the interlibrary loan and document delivery services for free to you!
If your requested material will be expensive to obtain, we might contact you to discuss if other resources might meet your research needs, but the Libraries can usually cover such costs if you do need specific resources.
Lost/Damaged Items
If you fail to return borrowed interlibrary loan items, return them damaged, or lose them, you are responsible for paying any invoice sent to the ECU Libraries by the owning library. These are the only costs for interlibrary loan that you might have to pay.

For more information on this shipping service, please visit the Joyner Library Document Delivery page for more information.
Laupus Health Sciences Library
Laupus Health Sciences Library also provides free shipping of materials to Distance Education students and employees, but does not currently cover the return shipping costs.
