ILLiad Electronic Delivery Information

ILLiad offers the convenient option of having articles delivered to you without ever going to the library or waiting for mail delivery.
Expect electronic articles to be available on your virtual desktop a few days sooner than a paper photocopy would arrive on your real desktop.
Electronic delivery is available for items that are delivered to us electronically from the lending library

How do I sign up for electronic delivery?

  1. Logon to ILLiad
  2. From the main menu, click the "Change" link under the Personal Information options.
  3. For the choice "Preferred Electronic Delivery if Possible (via web through ILLiad)" choose "Yes" to have your electronic articles posted to your ILLiad account.

How do I get Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Adobe Acrobat Reader is available without charge from Adobe Systems, Inc. Click the "Get Adobe Reader" button to go directly to the download page.

How do I get my articles when they arrive?

How do I know which requests will be electronically delivered and which ones will not?

ILLiad sends you an e-mail notification for each item received. That e-mail will include information about the delivery method.
