Traditional ILL

Traditional interlibrary Loan is a service through which circulating books not found in the online catalogs of Saint Louis University Libraries or MOBIUS libraries may be requested and obtained from other libraries.

Requests for photocopied articles are obtained from other libraries and always are requested through ILLiad.

15

• We participate in several cooperative lending programs that provide fast turn around time. We have access to libraries locally, regionally, and nationally.

• Generally photocopied articles arrive in two to five days and books arrive within a week to ten days

• Primarily photocopied articles and circulating books are available. • Video cassettes, dissertations and loose-leafs may be difficult to

borrow. • There is no limit to the number of items you may request at one

time. If you are requesting a large number of books allow yourself enough time to obtain and use the information.

16

• Typically, books borrowed through interlibrary loan only have a two to three week loan period with no renewals.

• MOST IMPORTANT: Complete bibliographic information must be provided. Article requests must have the author, title, volume, date and page number.

17

ILLiad• ILLiad is an electronic system used to request items, either

photocopies or books• ILLiad offers the convenient option of having articles delivered to

you via electronic delivery• Once you have entered your personal information you will not have

to supply the information again

18

• You choose your username and password.• You will be notified via e-mail as soon as your requested

item arrives in the library • You will be able to review your current and past

requested items

19

Notification and delivery• We will send an e-mail message to your e-mail account of your

choice notifying you that your material has arrived and is ready for pick-up.

• Returnable items are be picked up at the Circulation Desk. The book wrap on returnable items indicates the due date and any restrictions placed by the lending library. The loan period of the item depends on the policy of the lending library.

• Borrowed items must be returned on time. Interlibrary Loan is a privilege and a courtesy. Returning items late jeopardizes our borrowing relationship with the lending library

• Photocopy items are retrieved electronically as Adobe PDF documents from the ILLiad server in most cases.
