Read the terms and conditions below and acknowledge your agreement to abide by them through clicking the button at the bottom of the page. Complete the subsequent registration information. This is a quick, one-time process that serves three purposes:
- Entering your library contact information into the ILLiad system means you will not have to supply the information again when making future requests.
- Having your e-mail and regular mail addresses on file with Interlibrary Loan enables us to notify you promptly and deliver materials accurately.
- By specifying a Username and Password, you will have secure access to information about your requests. You will also be able to review the list of items you have requested in the past.
During registration, you will be asked to choose a Username and Password. You will use this Username and Password when logging on to the ILLiad system in the future.
Username: Choose anything you like, such as your name, abbreviations, or an alphanumeric code. Username must be between three and sixteen characters long.
Password: Choose anything you like. We recommend that you follow good security practice and choose a password that is different from those you use to access other systems. ILLiad will encrypt your password, so it will remain secure. Only you will know your password.
