- Standard: 1-3 business days. If no rapid delivery is selected, articles are normally delivered in 1-3 business days.
- Expedited: 24-hour delivery. Article requests from select journals will be filled usually within 24 hours.
- Urgent: 0-4-hour delivery. Articles needed urgently for research or clinical care are filled in four hours or less, even outside of business hours. The University Libraries pays $35 for each request, but there is no cost to you. This service is available to UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, graduate students, and staff.
