- A new interlibrary loan system called ILLiad is coming October 27! This state-of-the-art interlibrary loan system will enable us to serve you better. For example, you will find it easier to submit your ILL requests because you will only need to enter your name, address, and other personal information into the system once, at the time of your first request. And you will be able to check the status of your request through the Web at any time from any location without having to call us.
