NYS ILL (ILLIAD)

Requesting ILLs via ILLiad (for Items NOT in the SCLS) 

The first place to go to request a book not in the SCLS catalog is the NYS Library. There is no charge to the patron for this service.

 1. Look up the item in the NYS catalog (library site:www.nysl.nysed.gov).

 2. Go to NYS Library ILLiad (http://nysl.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/lending/lendinglogon.html).

 3. Enter USERNAME and PASSWORD (find these on rolodex or the ILL folder at the Reference Desk.)

 4. Click on NEW REQUEST.

 5. Fill out the form

 6. Click on SUBMIT REQUEST.

 7. Print off a copy for the ILL clerk and one for the folder. You will have to manually write the requesting  patron’s name, phone #, and barcode on the sheet.

Once the request has been submitted, check back on ILLiad daily to monitor progress of the request by going to VIEW, then OUTSTANDING REQUESTS.
