ILLiad implementation marches on!

The ILL staff will begin authorizing individual accounts for MLS staff only on Monday, April 18.  Any staff member who wants to request material via ILL can sign up for an ILLiad account, or if you have already signed up and placed a request, it will be processed.

To sign up, follow these easy steps:

1. Go to the ILLiad login page at https://metrolibrary.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/illiad.dll?Action=99 or select ILLiad login from the drop-down Site Logins menu on the MyMetroLibrary home page.
2. Click the First Time Users link at the bottom of the screen and follow the easy steps to sign up.

As with all customers, you are encouraged to use your library card number as your username and your last name as your password, but you can use anything you choose.

NOTE:      Staff who work at the Service Center should check with ILL staff before signing up for ILLiad if they want to pick up ILL materials at the Service Center checkout station.

1. Once you sign up, you can request material immediately, or log out until you find something you want to request.

BONUS:    When you request material using your individual account, you DO NOT have to put your card number and name in the Additional Information box!

You will receive an e-mail from [email protected] within two business days (but it will likely be sooner), to let you know that your account has been authorized.  Any requests that you have placed will be processed as soon as your account is authorized.

To place requests or track the status of existing ones, log in to your ILLiad account any time.

Thanks, and happy borrowing!
