ILLiad: Navigating ILLiad

After logging on to ILLiad, here are some of the following options that are available:

• New Request: Users may choose Article, Book, Book Chapter, Thesis/Dissertation, Music or Movie depending on the material needed.

• Outstanding Requests: Lists all article and loan requests that are still in process. These requests have not yet been received or cancelled.

• Electronically Received Articles: Contains all articles delivered to you on the web. They remain on your ILLiad account for 30 days.
   
• Checked Out Items: Lists all loans that are currently available and checked out to you. In this section you can check to see renewal availability and request a renewal by clicking on the transaction number of the desired request.
   
• History Requests: Lists all of your request activity that has been finished. 

Before submitting a request for an article, check the Journal List, or for a book, check the library catalog to ensure that USD does not own the item.

• Stop in to the Libraries to speak with a librarian at the Reference Desk on the first floor of the University Libraries, or email, call or chat using Ask a Librarian for help finding articles.
