To request an item through ILLiad, you must first create an account, using your UTAD ID and a password of your choosing.

Like your UTAD password, ILLiad passwords expire every six months; however, they are not linked at this time. Your ILLiad password will not automatically update when you change your UTAD password.

WARNING CONCERNING COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of articles or other reproductions of copyrighted materials.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish an article or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the article or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research". If a user makes a request for, or later uses, an article or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use", that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

The University of Toledo Libraries reserve the right to refuse to accept an ILLiad request if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

ILLiad is the system used for requesting, delivering and notifying you that requested materials are available, either for download or pickup.

All articles, proceedings papers, or book chapters will be electronically posted to your ILLiad account as PDF files and must be downloaded within 30 days of posting.

Books and other physical materials will be checked out on your library record and placed on hold for you at the Carlson or Mulford Library Circulation Desk. Access your library record here (also accessible from the library's homepage).

Any materials checked out will be subject to the due date listed in your library record--not the date listed in your ILLiad record.

ILLiad and Interlibrary Loan (ILL) are different from borrowing items through OhioLINK. Questions regarding OhioLINK should be referred to the library's Circulation Department.
