Interlibrary Loan

Renewing an interlibrary loan book

How to request an extension of the checkout time period for your interlibrary loan book through your ILLiad account and what to expect

Once in your ILL account look to the menu to the left. Click on "Checked out items" under the heading "View".

That will bring up all the items that are checked out to you. There is a transaction number displayed on the left side of the record for each item checked out.

Click on the transaction number of the book you want to renew. That record then opens up and if a renewal is possible for that item, you will see , in red, the words "renew request" just above the blue title bar that reads "transaction information".

Click the "renew request" button.

It's important to be aware that the item has not yet been renewed. The new due date can only be given by the lending library.

Search for ILLs like a librarian

You can search the worldwide collection of books that we use in Interlibrary Loan. Go to Worldcat's public website and search for books. Then copy and paste the information into the ILL request form. Now you know the secrets of an ILL staff member!

If our library doesn't own the book, we'll try to find it!
