How long does it take to get a book through MeLCat?
Answer
The wait-time for MelCat is quite variable and depends on the speed of the fulfilling library. A typical wait time for a MeLCat item to arrive can be about a week or two. MeLCat utlizes a pool of similar schools to select the best option for fulfillment. It may not necessarily be the closest institution. A MelCat loan is between an individual borrower and another institutional library.
