ILLiad Update

ILLiad is now in full swing.

ILL has been working out some issues. Off campus access was not available the first weekend. That problem has been corrected. Please report any concerns or access issues to ILL at Interlibrary-loan@wiu.edu or call 309-298-2761.

You may use the old WorldCat forms to submit requests - be sure to type in your ILLiad user ID in the field provided. ILL will manually add these requests to your account.

The Open URL has been created, unfortunately it does not auto populate the fields in ILLiad. ILL is looking into this issue and hope to have that corrected in the future.

Thanks to all who have been patient and helpful in the transition to the new software.

WIU ILL Staff

ILLiad Goes live

Dear ILLians,

I am happy to report that ILLiad is ready to go live. ILL is trying to get the ILLiad links up this morning, February 19, 2008.

If you are still seeing the old forms, you may go a head and utilize them. However, ILLiad links should be in place today, and then you will need to register to submit requests.

Also, when you are searching databases from Worldcat, the ILL icon will no longer work. You will need to press "Submit request to WIU ILL" link. This link should appear near the WIU SFX link and other links.

I-Share requests do not require an ILLiad account. You may still requests materials from I-Share using your ID number.

If you need assitance, please contact ILL at 309-298-2761.
Or send us an email at: interlibrary-loan@wiu.edu

The staff hopes your semester is off to a good start.

ILLiad Update

The new system was going to be up soon, but ILL has run into some technical difficulties. Our technicians are working to correct the problem. ILL hopes ILLiad borrowing will be up within the next month.

Check here for further updates.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all ILLians. ILL has ordered almost all of the items submitted during the Winter break. There have been a few delays as some libraries have not reopened yet.
