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
