New Interlibrary Loan Service: ILLiad

The Library is pleased to offer Interlibrary Loan services through a new program called ILLiad. ILLiad will be available for placing requests on Thursday, September 1. ILLiad will replace all past methods of placing interlibrary loan requests. Paper request forms and the old online request forms are being discontinued.

ILLiad offers new features that we hope will make your use of Interlibrary Loan more streamlined, efficient and user friendly. In order to use the system, you will need to log in with your Kalamazoo College network username and password. First time users will fill out a short registration form. Once the account is established, you will be able to request books and articles without entering your personal information each time. In addition, you can check on the status of your requests, ask for renewals, or cancel requests. You will also enjoy instant email notification to let you know when your material has arrived.

Though you will still come to the Library circulation desk to pick up books, all articles will be delivered electronically through your ILLiad account.

If you have questions, call the Reference Department at 269-337-7152 or email reference@kzoo.edu.
