INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICE
First Time User Registration for Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
To request an item through Interlibrary Loan, you must first identify yourself to the J. Eugene Smith Library's ILLiad system. To do this you fill out a registration form using your Web browser.
Select "Interlibrary Loan" from the Smith Library Homepage under Policies & Services.
Registration has three purposes:
- Entering your personal information into the ILLiad system means you will not have to supply the information again when making future requests. Having your e-mail and regular mail addresses on file with Interlibrary Loan enables us to notify you promptly and deliver materials accurately when your request arrives in the library.
- By specifying a Username and Password of your choosing, you will have secure access to information about your requests. You will also be able to review the list of items you have requested in the past.
About your Username and Password
During registration, you will be asked to choose a Username and Password. You will use this Username and Password when logging on to the ILLiad system in the future.
Username
Choose anything you like, such as your name, abbreviations, or an alphanumeric code. We strongly recommend you use the same Username you use to logon to ECSU computers and access your campus email. This is usually your last name immediately followed by your first initial.
Password
Choose anything you like. We recommend that you follow good security practice and choose a password that is different from those you use to access other systems.
ILLiad will encrypt your password, so it will remain secure. Only you will know your password.Important Copyright Information

ILLiad FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Before registering, you may wish to read the ILLiad FAQ. The FAQs may answer other questions you have about the ILLiad interlibrary loan system.
After reading this information, you can press the "First Time Users Click Here" button to continue. (As seen below)
This will bring you to the Registration form where you will fill out all the requested items. Items with an asterisk are required. Click "Submit Information" to send your information.
After you have completed the registration form you will be taken to the main menu screen after all subsequent logons. There are several options to the left of the screen as seen below.
(Logoff, Main Menu, New Request, View, Tools, and About ILLiad)
At this point you are able to request articles, books, etc. from other libraries through the "New Request" options.
IMPORTANT: Know when to use Interlibrary loan and when not to
Always be sure the item you would like to acquire is not available from the Smith Library, either in print form or within our databases. ILL is used to request items that can’t be found in CONSULS, the online catalog and journal articles unavailable at ECSU (check our Journal Locator) ILL should not be used for items in the Library collection, unless they cannot be located or they are checked out and cannot be recovered promptly. –Tip: use the “hold” feature to request an item that is checked out. It may be faster than ILL. ILL should not be used for books and AV items in CONSULS that are available for loan from another CSU campus. –Tip: use the CONSULS “request book” feature for other CSU items. Use ILL to request journal articles that are not available or accessible at Smith Library.
After registering for ILLiad Interlibrary Loan, you can also obtain an Interlibrary Loan within many of our databases. For instance, after locating a particular article abstract (summary) in Academic Search Premier, EBSCOHost and deciding you would like to find the full-text, click the link "Check Article Linker for more information". (See below)
Below is a screen shot of the results after clicking Check Article Linker for more information.
Note the above highlighted "Sorry, no holdings were found for this journal". This tells us we do not have this particular article available in print form in the library or from our databases.This is where you can select "InterLibrary Loan form"
A nice feature about the ILLiad system is that your information for Article, Book Request, or other form of ILL will be automatically entered on the request form. (See below)
We hope you like our new ILL service. If you have any concerns or comments about this new service, please contact Moira Fitzgerald.
