ECU students, faculty, and staff:

  • Simply login to ILLiad using your PirateID and Passphrase, as you do for other ECU systems like PiratePort and Canvas.

  • If you have not registered in ILLiad before, you will be prompted to create an account.
  • If you cannot login, contact ITCS or the library.

When you Move

The ILLiad system does not receive updates from ECU's other systems when you move, change your phone number, major or department, etc. Please update your ILLiad account in such cases, especially if you are a Distance Education student who wants items shipped to you off campus.

Don't have an ECU PirateID?

You will need to register using a different method -- at the bottom of the ILLiad login screen are options for Joyner Library and Laupus Library and links to each library's alternative registration page. During registration, enter your full email address as your username and select whatever password you would like to use.

Concerned about privacy?

The Interlibrary Loan staff at the ECU Libraries respect and guard your privacy. We specifically endorse the Library Bill of Rights (American Library Association) and Statement on Professional Ethics (American Library Association) and complies with North Carolina State law governing the Confidentiality of Library User Records  (N.C.G.S. §125, art. 19).  

The information you provide during registration is needed so we can ask you questions about your requests, inform you that materials have arrived for you, and to know your department/major and university status for collection development and outreach decisions. When Interlibrary Loan staff share any data with other librarians and other libraries to fulfill your requests or analyze our service, we share as little as possible and it is usually aggregated rather than identifiable.

Please be aware that unlike the circulation system, your history of materials borrowed and accessed through ILLiad is maintained for your convenience and in compliance with copyright guidelines and electronic resource licenses and that, under certain court orders or other government demands, your request history may be provided to law enforcement personnel or others if so ordered.
