What is electronic delivery?

With electronic delivery, articles are delivered to your online ILLiad account and can be read, or downloaded via the internet.

How do I know if my computer can receive electronic articles?

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and configured to work with your Web browser in order to view, download, and print these articles.  If you can read the sample page, then your computer has the necessary software installed to work with your Web browser. However, if your computer tells you the file type is unknown and asks if you want to save the file to disk, then you need to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader software.

How do I get Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Acrobat Reader is available without charge from Adobe Systems. Simply follow the instructions on the Adobe download page.

How do I know when my articles have been electronically delivered?

ILLiad sends you an e-mail notification for each item received by ILL and electronically delivered to you.

How do I get my articles when they arrive?

1. Logon to ILLiad
2. From the main menu, click the "Electronically Received Articles" link under the View Requests options.
3. A list will be displayed containing all of the items that you have waiting to be viewed or downloaded.

What if I do not want electronic delivery?

Electronic delivery is the ILLiad default. Paper delivery will be provided only if you choose not to receive articles electronically.
Students will be charged $.10 per page for articles in paper format.

What if I have questions about electronic delivery?
