First Time User Registration for Interlibrary Loan

To request an item through Interlibrary Loan, you must first identify yourself to the Library's ILLiad system. To do this, fill out the registration form.
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 U.S. 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 previously requested.

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.

Username
Choose anything you like, such as your name, abbreviations, or an alphanumeric code.
Password
Choose anything you like. We recommend that you follow good security practices 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.
