ILLiad: Making Interlibrary Loan Easier For You!

The interlibrary loan process is now easier for you thanks to ILLiad, our new interlibrary loan management software program! Here are some of the benefits of using ILLiad:

  • You will have access to your ILLiad account 24/7 from any web browser.
  • You will only need to enter your personal information ONCE when you create your ILLiad account, not every time you submit a request. After you create your account, you will access it using the username and password you selected.
  • You will receive automatic emails letting you know when your items have arrived.
  • Articles and book chapters will be waiting for you in your ILLiad account in PDF format (unless you requested a print copy).
  • You will be able to view a list of the items you have borrowed, see when they are due and request renewals.
  • You will be able to see the status of your outstanding requests.
  • You will be able to connect to ILLiad directly from an EBSCOhost or WorldCat record.

ILLiad will also make our behind-the-scenes work easier and less dependent on paper, which will result in a more efficient and earth-friendly interlibrary loan process.
