Overview
ILLiad streamlines the way materials are ordered through ILL and allows users to track their requests at any time. New users need to register and select a user name and password. After registering you may begin ordering materials through ILL.
- Interlibrary Loan Service is available only to current UMBC faculty, students and staff.
- Users must be registered at Circulation before ILL requests will be processed.
- The Interlibrary Loan Service allows patrons to request materials and books needed for their research, that are not owned by UMBC.
- Books owned by USMAI libraries (University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions) must be obtained through catalogusmai.
- If you forget your ILLiad password, contact the ILL office between the hours of 8:00am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday and we will assign you a new temporary one. Leave a message or send an email over weekends and we will change your password on the next business day.
- Although Interlibrary Loan gives you access to many more resources, it may take longer than other means of access. The average delivery time is 5-10 business days. Always start your research early for the best results. You may want to contact the Reference Desk for assistance in locating other in-house or online materials.
