ILLiad - (Nation-wide Electronic Interlibrary Loan)

ILLiad is the electronic system you can use to request an item, including journal articles, from other libraries across the nation. The name ILLiad can be thought of as an acronym for InterLibrary Loan internet accessible database. It is a service for faculty, staff and students of UW-Marinette. With ILLiad you can do the following online:

• Request materials
• Edit your requests and track their status
• View a history of all your requests
• Request renewals
• View, print, or download electronically delivered items
• Review your personal information

When should you use ILLiad?

Before making a request for an item, always check the Colleges Online Library Catalog to see if we already own the item or if you can borrow it through Universal Borrowing. If we own the item, you can save valuable time.

For journal articles, go to the Library Electronic Resources and Online Databases home page to see if the article is available in full text. Choose either the full text e-journals link or the citation linker before submitting your request through ILLiad.
