Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a sharing of materials between libraries.
The Interlibrary Loan service allows students, faculty, and staff to borrow from other libraries if items are not available at the Delgado Libraries. In addition, patrons may request books or articles held by any of the Delgado Library locations through Intra-Library Loan.
In order to request materials through interlibrary loan, all users must register through ILLiad, the interlibrary loan system. After registering, users can request interlibrary loan materials through ILLiad, check the status of their requests, and view a history of requests submitted through ILLiad.
The State Library of Louisiana uses LANTER to transport materials between the public libraries and academic libraries at least one day per week. Delgado Libraries are scheduled three times per week (MWF).
Requesting journal articles, book chapters, or thesis is a function of Document Delivery. Articles may be delivered in pdf format directly to the user's ILLiad account and can be accessed for 30 days. To allow electronic delivery, user's must select "preferred electronic delivery if possible." OCLC's Article Exchange allows library users to access articles through their personal email addresses.
