Q. How do I place an Interlibrary Loan request?

To place a request, login to ILLiad.

For Joyner Library and the Music Library:

Click on New Requests from the menu bar at the top of the page. Select the request form that is for the item you want, or select the Not Sure/Other option. 

Enter the citation information you have for the desired item (title, author, year, etc.). If you are uncertain of your citation, please Ask a Librarian before placing your request.

• Provide as much information as you have, especially the ISBN, ISSN, PMID, or DOI if you happen to have it.
• If you have special instructions, please enter them in the Notes field (e.g. must be a DVD or in Spanish).
• Change the Not Wanted After date if you need the item sooner or if you can wait longer. We always try to fill requests as quickly as possible, though.
• Please don't abbreviate titles.
• Request one item per request form (i.e. multiple chapters from the same book must be made as separate requests). 

Click submit. You're done -- library employees will do the rest! You will be notified by email when the item is available, or if there are any specific questions we may have about your request. You may log back into ILLiad to check on the status of your request at anytime or contact your library's Interlibrary Loan office: jis@ecu.edu or 252-328-6068.

If you are placing requests for a faculty member as her/his assistant, please consider creating a Research Account.
