To request a book or an article, log in to your ILLiad account. On the left-hand side of the page, you'll see the "New Requests" category. Choose the type of item that you're looking for (Article, Book, Book Chapter, Case (i.e. the opinion for a court case), or Other), and then fill out the form for that item.
Please request your items as soon as possible. Books usually take 1-2 weeks to arrive here. Articles usually take 3-5 business days to arrive here. Hard-to-find items may take longer.
Here are some other tips and rules to keep in mind:
All patrons will receive an email when an item they've requested has arrived.

Articles
Articles are delivered electronically to your ILLiad account.
Articles are stored on the server for only 30 days, so after you view the PDF, you'll need to save it to your computer for future viewing.
Most books can be renewed unless the ILL band wrapped around the front cover of the book specifically states "No Renewals". Renewing books does not happen automatically. You will need to log in to your ILLiad account to renew the book. Here's what to do:
Once you've completed these steps, the Interlibrary Loan staff will contact the lending library to approve renewing the item. Once they approve renewing the item, we'll change the due date for the item. You can find out the new due date by logging back in to your ILLiad account. This will typically happen within two business days.
Please note that the lending library may decide that the item cannot be renewed or may be renewed only once. All renewals are subject to the lending library's approval.
