LEO - Library Express On-grounds
Overview
LEO provides service to U.Va. faculty members by delivering library material to departmental offices. Delivered library material includes items retrieved from a U.Va. library, or via Interlibrary Loan. Material requested within the U.Va. collection will be delivered within 48 hours. Material obtained through a loan from another university will be delivered within 3 - 10 working days.
