What is ILLiad?
ILLiad
is
Tennessee State Libraries and Media Centers Interlibrary Loan system,
which replaces our previous ILL system.
How is ILLiad better?
-
You should find it easier to submit your ILL requests by
entering your name, address, and other personal information when you submit
your first request through ILLiad.
-
Requests will have a much faster turnaround time and should
result in fewer mistakes, since problems relating to misinterpretation of
handwritten requests will be eliminated.
-
You will be able to check on the status of your request on our
website at any time.
Any disadvantages to this system?
As with any new system, it will take some time to become
comfortable with logging on to ILLiad to submit a request using a
username and password. However, we believe that it will be less cumbersome
than the traditional paper systems which require you to submit personal
information every time you request an item through interlibrary loan.
Who is eligible to
use ILLiad?
Any student, faculty or staff member with a valid Tennessee
State University ID, username and password will be eligible to use
ILLiad. We recommend that
others use the public library in their area to make interlibrary loan requests.
How do I submit requests?
-
Go to the TSU Library Home Page.
-
Click on the ILLiad or the Interlibrary Loan
link.
-
Register with ILLiad by supplying appropriate
information (e. g. name, address, ID number, etc.)
-
Choose type of item requested (e. g. book, article, or chapter
from a book.)
-
Before submitting request, check your request history to avoid
ordering the same item twice.
-
Fill out appropriate form for your type of request.
-
Submit request.
