What is ILLiad?

ILLiad is the electronic system the Marx Library uses for Interlibrary Loan and Copy Service. To use ILLiad, you need to set up an account.

Requests for items owned by the Marx Library (electronic or print) will be returned to you or else can be routed to our Document Delivery (Copy Service) for which there is a fee -- see Document Delivery Fees.

Check the SOUTHcat Catalog and Our Journal List to see if we own an item before submitting ILL requests. 

Always provide complete citation information. Do not abbreviate.

NOTE: The Biomedical Library handles Interlibrary Loan requests for faculty and students of the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health.
