ILLiad Electronic Delivery Information
ILLiad offers the convenient option of having articles delivered to you without ever going to the library or waiting for mail delivery.
Expect electronic articles to be available on your virtual desktop a few days sooner than a paper photocopy would arrive on your real desktop.
Electronic delivery is available for items that are delivered to us electronically from the lending library or for items from our collection.
How do I know if my computer can receive electronic articles?
Most modern internet browsers have a PDF reader included.
Alternatively you can install Adobe Acrobat Reader to view, and print these articles. If you can read the sample page, then your computer has the necessary software installed to work with your Web browser. However, if your computer tells you the file type is unknown and asks if you want to save the file to disk, then you need to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
How do I get Adobe Acrobat Reader?
Adobe Acrobat Reader is available without charge from Adobe Systems, Inc. Make sure to deselect all "Optional Offers".
How do I get my articles when they arrive?
- Logon to ILLiad
- From the Main Menu, click the "Electronically Received Articles" link under View.
- A list will be displayed containing all of the items that you have waiting to be viewed or downloaded.
What if I have questions about electronic delivery?
