What is Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?
Interlibrary Loan is a service by which Sims Library obtains research materials not available in the Sims Library. Current students, faculty and staff are eligible to use ILL.
In order to request materials through interlibrary loan, all users must first register through ILLiad, our interlibrary loan system. After registering, users can request interlibrary loan materials through ILLiad, check the status of their requests, and view a history of requests submitted through ILLiad.
