request books, journal articles, proceedings, or government documents,
not owned by Pace University Library.
Benefits of using ILLiad are:
- Registration is required only once to access ILLiad.
- Providing your email and mailing address, ensures prompt notification
and accurate delivery of materials when they arrive in the library.
- ILLiad allows you to track the status of your requests.
- ILLiad allows you to view a list of items you have requested in the past.
For detailed information about ILLiad, access ILLiad Services FAQ.
Be certain to read the Copyright Notice as the library and university
will not be held accountable for the misuse of materials provided.
When registering
in the ILLiad system be sure to select Distance Ed Students from the
"Status" drop-down menu to identify yourself. This ensures that materials
requested are delivered via email, fax, or regular mail. On-campus
students pick up their materials at the delivery location specified.
Books

Once
you enter your Username and Password, click the Request a Book
button to request books, entire conference proceedings, microfilm reels,
and microfiche.
Fill all the
necessary information in the Loan Request form and then click Submit
Request.
NOTE: It will take time for a lending library to send us the materials you need, and then for us to
send it to you. It could take up to three weeks for an item to get to you,
from the time of your original request to the time you receive it. So be
sure to take this into consideration when making your Interlibrary Loan
book requests. Lending circulation periods and renewals are controlled
by the lending library.
A
mailing label will be sent to you with the book - use this
label to return the book to the Pace University Library before the
due date to prevent fines on your library record. We will return
the book to the lending library for you. We strongly recommend that you
use U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail to return the book. Returned books
must be insured for $100 in case of loss.
Check with your local public library or a university library near you
for items not owned by the Pace University Library. It may be quicker
to obtain items from a local source rather than going through the
Library's Interlibrary Loan Service. However, if you cannot find an
item at a location near you or if it is simply not convenient for you
to do so, our Interlibrary Loan staff is here to help you.
Articles
Articles from journals, magazines and newspapers NOT owned by the
Pace University Library may be requested using
Interlibrary
Loan.
Fill in the
specific information for the article you are requesting.
ILLiad electronic
delivery option allows you to receive requested articles online. The
requestor is notified that the requested article is now available for viewing.
An article may be viewed for a period of 30 days after which it becomes inaccessible.
To take advantage of this feature, be certain to select Yes for the
entry, "Would you prefer Electronic Delivery if Possible?" in the New
User Registration for ILLiad form.
Click the Submit Information button
to submit your request.
Document Delivery Services
The library-subsidized Document Delivery Services,
CISTI/Source, serve as a convenient alternative to InterLibrary Loan. Requested
articles are sent directly from the service to the requestor without the
intervention of a library staff. To use
CISTI/Source, you
MUST send
a request for an account; you can send an email to any of the Account Request
