Interlibrary Loan Services
ILLiad
ILLiad is our web-based Interlibrary Loan system. All users are required to complete the one-time registration; thereafter users will only have to login with their username and password to place ILL requests.
Requesting Materials Not Owned by the CWU Library
To obtain materials not held by the Brooks Library, confirm that the material is not available in either print or electronic format, via:
- Searching CATTRAX, (the CWU Library online catalog)
- Searching the Summit Catalog
- Searching our Online Journals List
Then, login to ILLiad. You may pickup and return ILL materials at the Circulation Department on the First Floor of the Library. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 4:00pm.
Additional Service For Students At University Centers
University Center patrons may also request materials from our CWU Brooks Library collection using our document delivery service, in addition to using our regular interlibrary loan (ILL) service, which provides materials from other libraries.
Place your request, whether Document Delivery or ILL, using the ILLiad Login page.
