All ILL services are available. Requests for print and electronic journal articles and book chapters will arrive in about 24-48 hours. Requests for physical items will usually arrive in 1-2 weeks. Mail slowdowns and closures at other libraries may cause additional delays.
Return ILL materials to the Access Services desk on the 2nd floor of LSU Library, or use the return slots in the lobby near the south entrance. When the library is closed, use the overnight dropbox to the right of the south entrance to the Main Library.. Returns will be quarantined for 48 hours before check in. You may receive an automatic overdue notice for returned material still in quarantine and should disregard it.

Current library charges may be paid at the Access Services Desk using your Tigercard or by check. Current library charges may also be paid online with a credit card through the library catalog. All library charges forwarded to the Bursar's Office must be paid at that office prior to registration. Older bills (already at the Bursar's Office) may be paid with a credit card through myLSU.
