New Interlibrary Loan Service @ LHSU
The Library of the Health Sciences-Urbana will cutover to a new Interlibrary Loan service later this month. This new service should offer significant improvements. We will be using the same software (ILLiad) that is currently used by the UIUC Library so you may notice some similarities.
When you need an item such as a book or journal article that is not available online or on campus, you will be able to submit an interlibrary loan request in a similar manner as the current system. After completing a brief online registration form, you will be able to create new requests, view outstanding requests and be alerted to items waiting for you to claim either online or at the library. One advantage will be our ability to supply received journal articles electronically rather than in print.
Beginning on January 22, when you select Interlibrary Loan from either our main page or from the UIC Options linkout page, you will receive the registration form for accessing the new system. We will be happy to walk through this process with you. Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions about this change.
