ILLiad 101

ILLiad (http://www.library.uams.edu/illiad) is an online system for requesting, tracking and retrieving materials that are supplied through the Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery services of the UAMS Library.

How do I know if I need Interlibrary Loan (ILL) or Document Delivery?

These two services are alternative methods of obtaining materials:

• ILL is borrowing from the collection of another library materials unavailable within our own collection. Some items are not accessible through ILL (i.e.: course syllabi, citations listed as "to be published" at a future date, etc.). All loans are subject to Copyright Guidelines and Laws and the individual policies of the lending institutions. ILL service is specifically limited to UAMS, VA, and ACH faculty, staff and students, and Healthcare Professionals within the Central Arkansas area.
• Document Delivery is the service of pulling and copying/scanning materials from the UAMS Library collection. When requesting Document Delivery service, notation should be made in the "Notes" field of the ILLiad request form.

Fees may apply depending on the type of service you request and institutional affiliation. For more information regarding fees, see the Library Services/Document Delivery section of the Library homepage. Acknowledgement of any fees and preferences should be indicated in the "Notes" field of the Illiad request.

What kind of information do I need about the item I'm requesting?
