Interlibrary Loan              

This tutorial covers the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services that are available to Brandman University students, faculty, and staff for when particular books or articles are not available through Leatherby Libraries’ print or electronic collections. Please scroll to the bottom of this page for information on ILLiad Interlibrary Loan policies, processing time, fines, FAQs, and who to contact for assistance.

What is ILLiad?
ILLiad is the electronic system you use to request an item through Interlibrary Loan. The name ILLiad can be thought of as an acronym for InterLibrary Loan internet accessible database. You must set up an ILLiad account to be able to request items through Interlibrary Loan.

Advantages of ILLiad
The following are advantages to setting up an ILLiad account:

• Entering your personal information into the ILLiad system means you will not have to supply the information again when making future requests.

• Having your e-mail and regular mail addresses on file with Interlibrary Loan enables us to notify you promptly and deliver materials accurately when your request arrives in the library.
  
  
• By specifying your Chapman username and a password of your choosing, you will have secure access to information about your requests. You will also be able to review the list of items you have requested in the past.

Setting Up Your ILLiad Account
Setting up an ILLiad account takes a few minutes and requires that you know your Chapman ID#. If you do not know or have access to your ID#, please contact your campus.

To set up your ILLiad Interlibrary Loan account, begin at the Leatherby Libraries homepage, www1.chapman.edu/library:
