ILLiad Interlibary Loan Service Now Available!

The Library new Interlibrary Loan service, ILLiad, is now available! ILLiad replaces all past methods of placing interlibrary loan requests. Paper request forms and the old online request forms are discontinued. We will also no longer accept emailed requests.

Using the system is easy. Just log in with your Kalamazoo College network username and password. First time users will fill out a short registration form. Then you will be able to request books and articles without entering your personal information each time. 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.

You can still request Interlibrary Loan items directly through FirstSearch databases and other online indexes -- just click the link that says "Request this item with ILLiad." You will be asked to log in to ILLiad and the request form will already be filled out for you.

If you have questions about using ILLiad, contact the Reference Department at reference@kzoo.edu or 269-337-7152.
