What is ILLiad?
ILLiad is an automated system for borrowing materials through interlibrary loan or document delivery. Interlibrary loan allows UW-Whitewater faculty, staff, and students to borrow materials not owned by this library from other libraries. Document delivery allows UW-W faculty, staff, graduate students and distance education students to request articles owned by this library in print or microform; these articles will be scanned by library staff and made accessible via the user’s computer desktop. The cost for both services is $1 per request. Access ILLiad either through the Find It menu of services (see What is Find It?, above), or by choosing Forms from the Services drop down menu on the library’s home page, and then clicking ILLiad. After logging in, either fill out the form for the item you are requesting or verify the information already in the form, and submit your request.
ILLiad is USC’s electronic system for requesting materials owned by other libraries through the global interlibrary loan network. The name ILLiad can be thought of as an acronym for InterLibrary Loan internet accessible database. This system also manages our Document Delivery service, which currently delivers electronic copies of articles and other documents to faculty and distance users.
