What is Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad)?

Answer

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service that allows you to request materials owned by other libraries all over the world. You can use Interlibrary Loan to request physical items, scans of chapters or sections of books, as well as scans of articles the library does not own. 

The Libraries use a system called ILLiad for Interlibrary Loan requests.
