Sometimes faculty members ask their staff or student assistants to place interlibrary loan requests on their behalf.
The best way to make these requests is to create a Research Assistant Account in ILLiad so faculty do not have to share their login details and students and staff don’t have items on their account for someone else’s use.
To make a Research Assistant Account in ILLiad, ask the faculty member to send the Interlibrary Loan staff an email approving the creation of the account. Then create the new ILLiad account using the following details.
- Name: faculty member's
- Department: faculty member's
- Status: Research Account
- Primary Mailing Address, E-mail, & Phone: faculty member's, department's, or your own -- whatever is desired
- Authorized Users: whoever should have access to the account and borrowed materials
- Username: the faculty member's email address, including "@ecu.edu"
- Password: whatever you choose - share with all who will use the account, especially with the faculty member
